Default WTF!!??? Dell computer cord in trunk!

96 A4. Looked inside my trunk on top, where the holes are near speakers and noticed a white computer style cord, similar to one used for a monitor. It says Dell on it. What the hell is that for? It appears to be hard wired on one end and not connected on the other.

Buddy of mine has a Windows PC in his A8 hooked up to a double din touch screen radio, so it IS possible. Still have the stock radio?

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies. Its a Radio Shack cord, not Dell and I ended up calling the guy I bought the car from (original owner for 16 years until I bought it) and he said it was for his MOBILE PHONE he had installed back in the day. Holy ****-how the times have changed.

Many A4's came stock with mobile phones. There is a cut out you will see in the center console.
