I would hazard a guess its for some optional piece of equipment like the electrics for a towing hitch.

Looks like the plug that goes into the cd changer, but I assume that is still working?

The coax looks like cellular

Maybe the earlier cellular kit, that was an option before the ccrt700 became available?

Oops dident notice the coax. Mmmm the mystery deepens.
I take it the original wiring to the CD changer was never bipassed for any reason and rewired?

you dont think it was possibly wired in so you could have sat nav tucked away , rather than on the roof???????

I dont think there is room for it as the Amp is behind the multi player.

it makes sense ,  its the coax that point it in that direction, the question is does anyone with an earlier mig without ccrt 700 have anything plugged in there

Looks like connections for the Motorola transceivers, who made the 'phone in armrest'?

Can't remember, but Motorola did have the carphone market sewn up in the early 90s

Only just found this thread!!!  ::) ::) ::) ::)

I seem to remember a similar conversation about 6 weeks back and the conclusion was that it was for the OnStar system, which was never actually activated in the UK!
