Found this cable disconnected by the pedals. After some searching, it lead me to the trunk. What the heck is it? Says type rg-5870.

Yeah, my neighbor said the same thing. I'm 20, so I'd guess that's before my time. What is it? Like a walkie talkie type of thing? Hah, guess I got myself all upset thinking it was another thing that needed to be replaced....

Is your car an old ssp? If so, probably some old radio stuff from when it was in service!

Not to my knowledge. But who knows, probably will check into that. Would be pretty cool.
