    Now that I've had my 348 home for a couple weeks and looked around its time for some clean up. I found what looks like phone cable but a little wider.. almost like LAN cable in the passenger footwell. It goes into the center console. I assume it had an old school car phone at some point. anyone seen anything like this?

    Also several wires running from behind the radio up under the passenger footwell and up through the dash and throught the a/c ducts and come out in the trunk by the fresh air inlet. I assume it's for the K40 radar. Let me know if anyone can identify any of this as part of the car vs junk wiring from add on accesories. also what looks to be a horn or buzzer of some type

    I have a 355 and above the driver visor, coming almost out of where the rearview mirror is located is also a phone cable with a plastic receptacle for a phone connection. Never really knew what this was for either.

    Is it possibly used for diagnostics?

    I figured something like that was possible. Wanted to see if anyone recognized any of this stuff before I start hacking and removing

    I've got a phone cable above the rear-view for a radar detector, but in my case I'm certain that this particluar cable is aftermarket. YMMV

    I'm pretty sure "phone cable" looking stuff is actually what Valentine 1 used for remote displays.

    phone cable is the power or remote for a Valentine Radar detector. Its what they use for the remote unit or power cable for the detector.

    the buzzer and other wires where from an old K40 radar.. snipped and now gone. The "phone cable" was from a valentine 1 radar detector. all and all i must have pulled 50 feet of junk cable out of the car. funny thing is the K40 looks like it stopped working due to a crimped wire under the hood. PO must have put in the Valentine never bothering to see why the K40 stopped working.
