Hello,guys. Need help. I’m looking to buy a little bit used A6. Dealer from Germany sent me report with photos and there is some unknown cable in the trunk,that dealer don’t know used for. Maybe somebody have ideas?Photo

Can't say I've seen that before. I'm wondering is it some wiring for a rear mounted dash cam? 

Who was the previous owner? Was it a business that required it to have additional lights etc if you see what I mean. 

Can the dealer not trave the wiring? 

Hello Denis,

Are you concerned that simply the ‘unknown’ cable is there, or the fact that you don’t know what it’s for? 
If it’s that concerning, why not request the dealer to ask the previous owner to get in touch with you to discuss its previous use - or at least explain to them what it was for, so that they can tell you? 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Hello Denis,

I have a French A6 and in the boot there is a Sub-Woofer (mounted in the centre of the emergency spare wheel). Looking at the photo I think it is the cable for that.

Kind Regards

Bob

 

I know this is a late reply but this cable has nothing to do with electronics, it's only used when the car is being built as a water sensor, if you dig around you'll find them all the way around the car, they can be safely cut off or just tucked back in.
