Default Does anyone know what these are....

I found these 2 cables behind my jack and my 6 CD changer. One cable is coax looking and it has a threaded "F" type connector. The other is a female "D" type connector, I believe it is a 30 pin. It is comparative to computer "D" connectors.

Anyone out there have any ideas!!!!

OOOO

The coax might be the remote control antenna. The other...no idea.

Those are computer type connectors, i have the same ones behind my 6 cd changer in my B5 S4, i have no idea what they are for but i do know they aren't in all cars.
Im thinking they were for the old sytle VAG scanners to print out data.
As for the coaxial cable, never seen one of those there before, maybe someone had some typeTV screeninside the trunk?

Looks like it would go for NAV if you had it.

+1. the pin connector should be for the nav box that usually sits underneath the cd changer if you had that option. the coax type should be the antenna for the key remote to lock/unlock the doors and such if i remember correctly.
