did u get your car used? if so the previous owner might have had a valentine v1 radar hooked up and he just took out the radar detector and left the wire and the small circle module in the car. look at the module and see if the wire comming out of it is a red and black. if so im pretty sure thats for the v1. a expensive radar but good if you want to get it. if the wire is annoying you tuck it aside and hide it till you do decide to get it done =]

yeah i know huh?!?! freakin CIA, patriot act, illuminati shit! but yeah i was thinking V1. it probably is becasue like he said there is black and red wiring coming out of the bottom. and yes the car is used i picked it up 3 weeks ago. its a anthracite 2004 TL a-spec with navi, 93K miles price was $11.5K. good deal or what? but if it was for radar why the hell would u make it come out the dash i would have made it come out of the ceiling near the rear view

FYI the power for radar detectors should work on just about anything (not just a V1). Some people prefer mounting their detector lower on the dash so that it's easier to reach.
