Hello, This i my first post in this forum. I have recently received a 08 Scud in black with silver stripe. Wheels needed a repaint so I went for gold and did the stripes in gold vinyl also. So far I'm very satisfied and is trying to learn as much as possible about the car. I also found a cable behind my seat. I hope somebody know what this is for?

Thanks. But in manual it says there is a battery charger connection below dashboard on right side? Is this the case for 430 only and not for Scuderia?
As the others have said, the OEM connection for the battery tender is under the passenger side dash. It takes a very specific connector. The one shown looks like a CTek battery tender connector. Look 'em up, and see if it matches. Probably a lot easier to connect a tender behind the drivers seat (and not pull off still connected with the OEM one.
The new F's all have a connector at the outside of the cars now .... at last they listened to the customers ...
The Ferrari tender likely died and a previous owner put in a connection for an aftermarket tender (=wires you are asking about). Note that there are posts on here on which parts to order from mouser to built a connector with your aftermarket tender that plugs into the factory port under the dash on your Scud. I have built those for both my Scud and my 612 in order to use higher rated c-tek tenders instead of the factory tenders, and still connect to the factory port.
Exactly! thread http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/141102598-post12.html to be able to do this... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Many owners will add an additional connection behind the driver's seat, simply because it is easier to access. My car had this, exactly like yours, and I removed it. The connector behind your seat is the standard Ctek connector. The one under the right side of the dash, is the proprietary Ferrari connector. The factory Ferrari charger is made by Ctek and comes with both adapters, so you can connect at either position. I am not fond of the Ctek brand...my factory Ferrari one is a 3 amp or there about, but has never worked correctly. I know Ferrari replaced a lot of their Ctek/Ferrari ones under warranty as they failed regularly. I use a Granite brand instead.
Thanks for help. To all of you who like the color combo. I was huge fan of the Lotus F1 cars with John Player Special dekor, so the choice was easy. And I can return to the original black/grey combination whenever I want to.
