Plastic Disc/Tab in Roof Lining?

[Moomin_Man]

Just bought a road hawk in-car camera and im going to hard wire it into the interior light. I'm wanting to fit a switch and wondered what that plastic tab in the roof lining is? Between windscreen and interior light. (not bluetooth mic)
Was either going to take it out and replace with switch or cut the tab and fit the switch into it. Wanted to check what it was firstly
Thanks in advance guys!

No, thats the mic (i think), it's the blank tab between interior light and rear view mirror i want to identify. Probably just a plastic rivet for roof lining, but i want to replace it with a switch and not spoil anything.

I think its just a clip to hold the roof lining in place

Think it's just a tab too hold roof lining in. There's someone on here who changed the roof lining. He may know.

I'm more interested in this camera you have!

Road-Hawk RH-1
Records everything out your front window and monitors your location with GPS. Just incase you have an accident that was not your fault, or someone has an accident in front of you! Also knows when you have had a bump or collision and saves a 5 minute clip of the incident. Also just got a motorsports HD GoPro
Going to try and put together some footage!

hhh yea!! check Blacktwingo-i's progress thread he changed his roof lining.

Thanks mate! Will PM

Oh yeah I've heard of these one of my transport companies use them for insurance purposes!

An a sports can for some spirited driving sounds good too
