What is this for??

[CaptDan]

ethernet cord - question is where does it go ?

The could be's are endless.


As others have said could be for a radar detector, a display for a remote camera. Is there any evidence of a 2 way radio having been mounted in the vehicle, it looks like the connection between a radio and a remote control head.

Plug your laptop to it and see if get free internet. Just don't click on any foreign banner ads.

Omg. That’s literally my first thought. It looked like something that hooked up to my grandma‘s phone.

Wow, my hip suddenly hurts and I need to go yell at clouds now.
And could it be this is what the cord is for?
It's the latest rage, having a car phone.

it is definitely ethernet cord which does not have power in it, so whatever it was was plugged in separately

Radar detectors use those RJ jacks for power.

Said already but Valentine I'm sure or Passport.

RJ11 plug. Likely a radar detector.

Valentine 1. Could have been a cleaner install right to the mirror tap.

v1 now has a usb connection available- I assume with a voltage step up to 12v. I’m gonna ditch the the rj connection and hook into my Mabett dash rail usb socket. Can’t wait- running rj cord to the console was a PITA and ugly

Have you heard of our Cord and Savior POE, +, ++?

How do you know it does not have power in that line?... Is there something you are seeing that I am not? I have a number of devices that utilize power over Ethernet. First thing I think of is my entire camera security system. Every one is POE.

That's an RJ-11 jack used for many data applications and old Ma-Bell home phones.

It was an upgrade from a field phone

Most Broncos have a wireless modem onboard to receive OTA updates. You appear to have an earlier dial-up modem model. You have to plug yours in at the house for Ford updates. Huge PITA…trust me!

I just bought a wild track and there’s this random cord running across the dashboard. Can anybody tell me what it’s for???? the people at the dealership didn’t even know……

It’s an ethernet cable plug your laptop into it.
