Its for the flux capacitator. Previous owner must have had one fitted then removed it when the car was sold.

Looks like aerial, which runs along the passenger side door seal. I know as I had to replace a section which I fucked the connector actually in the stereo bit.

The is basically a join between the roof aerial and the actual stereo.

But if your aerial is working, fuck knows!

I had this cable in my car left in there from the previous owner's handsfree kit. Took bloody ages to trace and remove, there was shitloads of it in the end!

By the look of the cable, its twin ax, rather than co-ax, also OE would be routed in the loom along the metal bar below glovebox

That looks like after market phone, connector to the stick on window type antenna.

Notice antenna for Ste W, as I know he likes his aerial / Antenna correctness.

Mobile phone antenna feed would be coax and you'd expect a mini F connector or SMA that looks like neither

The wire went to the radio aerial with nothing on the end so just cut it out the loom

Not sure on the left one. One on right, the single one, looks like what's usually on an interior light or heated rear screen.
