Hi guys, first time posting here :D

So I got a Mazda 323 F (BG) Astina back in April, and it is currently non-drivable, although I didn't get it that way. Long story short, I drove it abut 1400km all together and on my last trip a hose burst and i lost the water. We changed it and the thermswitch sensor (For the fan) and brought the car home, and it blew a new hose. Currently, we suspect it is a burst head gasket and it is swelling up the hoses (,weird enough no mixing of the oil or white smoke, just the swollen hoses).

Any ways i was removing the aftermarket entertainment system due to it being very modern, and we are suspecting i is draining the battery. I found this. I knew there was a part that was supposed to fit under the entertainment system; however i think i have only seen this once, and I don't know what it is for or if it is aftermarket. It does look original, but I wasn't able to find any info on it.

If you have any tips or advice, feel free to message me :D !!!
