Autopluggen is a small industrial building at Nils Hansens vei 18 in Bryn, Oslo, used as a car workshop. The site has a worn, utilitarian appearance, which makes it stand out from more polished screen locations and gives it a very specific urban character. It is also located only a short distance from Kripos, whose address is Nils Hansens vei 25.
Autopluggen appears in Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026). The series itself was filmed across a large number of real Oslo locations.
In Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026), Autopluggen is used in the scene where Harry Hole stops under a bridge beside the run-down building and bribes a couple sitting in a car in order to get information. In the series, the location functions as a gritty roadside setting rather than as a formal landmark, which fits the industrial character of Bryn.
