13081, What are these for?
Posted by valdeelrico, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
i was installing my old radio in my new car and i say these extra cables. I owned a 1995 esi and now i have a 1999 GS. I know the regular antenna hook up and wire harness on the left but the extra 2 on the right i don't know. on look like another antenna hookup and a serial cable. My question is what are the for? (yes, i connected them to my radio there is no difference or change and they disappear into the dash i tried tracing them back.)

The 2nd antenna connector is for the diversity antenna built into your rear glass. Ignore it.

The buss cable is for some aftermarket cd changer that's probably not in the car anymore. Looks like a Pioneer connector, but I could be wrong.

Where's the facepalm smiley when you need it?


The extra antenna line is for the antenna in the back glass, aftermarket radios can't use it, so don't worry about it.

The big funny plug is for some other aftermarket accessory that obviously isn't there any more, so ignore it or remove it.

The round cable is for the cars that have the infinity sound system. That cable if you follow it goes to the factory infinity amp under the passenger seat(if you have one) Like the others said, just ignore it.
