Default Anyone know what this is?

I found these a while ago under the back seat of my 95 f150 and i have no idea what they go to. The wires go under the carpet behind the seat and i havent pulled it up to see where they go. 3.5mm jack, looks like s video plug, and maybe a power plug?

The two angled connectors look like what could be connected to a CD changer unit.

CD changer?
Old style cell phone with a glass mount antenna. The power wires could be for the control module.
The white control plug resembles the one I have, and the wire coloring is the same orange and red.
I don't have a 3.5mm jack and my coax connection is slightly different.

Back in the old days we had to buy our own changer to integrate to the vehicle.

I had a Pioneer changer that I bought for my truck. I eventually bought an in dash Alpine cd deck and no longer needed the pioneer but these changers were pretty amazing back in the day.

Something like this

Just checked that out and the spots on the back look exactly like the plugs in my truck so i guess it had a cd changer at one point

Jes. Mystery solved. My 1997 Dakota had a factory tape deck but it had a CD button on the face. When I went to the dealer to ask about the CD changer unit, they wanted like $600 for it. Pfft. That's when I replaced the headunit with an aftermarket Pioneer unit, and a Rockford Fosgate amp/subs instead.
