N00b needs help

Hey guys,

I have a n00b question, while driving home from uni today, noticed some black tap on my car mat.

Once arriving home to check where it had fallen from. I noticed this connection under my steering wheel in the footwell..

Now that its loose and not connected I'm a little worried what it is.

If anyone could tell me what it is that would be greatly appreciated.

PS if anyone could tell me if its just a simply plug n play connection and then just put tape over it again is an ok solution.

Cheers mloo

How does the radio sound? It almost looks like the head unit antenna co-axial cable, I could be wrong though.

Or maybe something left over from a uhf install. You really need to trace the wire and see where it goes.

And you need new pedal rubbers!

It is a FME connector and they are normally used for coaxial cables so yes either the radio or UHF radio. However it looks like the male part has detached and a new male plug is needed.
