Unknown Cable to Somewhere?

Unknown Cable to Somewhere?
Alright. I bought a used DB9 and it has protruding from the dash vent area, adjacent to the windshield, what appears to be a typical phone connector wire/plug (about 6-8 inches or so).
Does anybody have any idea what this might be? I'm thinking it was some kind of add on by the previous owner. Its location makes me think it was for some kind of radar detector or similar.
Any way, it is quite the mystery and the selling dealer is of no particular help.

Doubtful, since the factory build sheet does not list these options and I would think they would be prohibitively expensive as a dealer or owner installed add on....

Maybe Q installed them for free. Previous owner J. Bond?

Duh, it's an English car and everyone knows they always have "extra" parts that really aren't necessary. This is most commonly discovered when taking something apart and then putting it back together ...

Wonder who removed the detector ? Should have left it inthere for peace of mind for the next owner... I got the K40 and boy it saved my behind quite a few times.

Those annoying arrows let you know what is going on Michael. I have 3 Valentines and an Escort. The Valentines are much better imho.
I once got stopped with my Escort car because I passed a cop using radar and ignored the beeping thinking it was coming from behind me and instead it was from ahead... I was driving with a friend who had a Valentine and he was wondering why I was speeding up when he knew there was radar ahead...
The Escort does have that cool Laser jammer and they use a lot of laser around here.

I'm jealous that you can plug your Escort into your Vantage, I have to use batteries for mine
