So there was this odd antenna that I knew I did not need. I thought it was for a satellite radio that is no longer in the car. It turns out that it was part of the alarm system. I obviously wasn't a factory install job. Almost pro. Well, this is what it looks like now:
It reminded me from the scene in Brazil, when Sam Lowrey returns to his apartment and finds the what the Dept of Works has done to the place.
It is still dangling by two wires - those I will have to splice back together when I cut this thing out.
