I bought a Mk4 Golf R32


What is this thing on the dash? Is it a GPS receiver?


On leg of the wire is connected to this thing? Is this a ground?


This is the wire the GPS? unit, it is cut though so the unit isn't powered.


Then there is this orange wire from behind the light switch


This cable runs across under the the steering wheel, haven't traced where it goes.

Does anyone know what the unit on the dash is? Also what would the wire from the light switch be?

Lol

The thing on the dash will be a GPS satellite.

The wire off your headlight switch may have been a place for them to tap voltage off

It's the Navigation GPS Antenna for PANASONIC STRADA CN-NVD905U

Ok, so these things had nav units stock. The last owner had put a panasonic headunit in as a replacement, so it looks like I can rip all this wiring out.

No it would have been GPS unit for the Panasonic headunit not OEM.
