Found an unknown pre-wire today...

While I was taking off panels to run wiring for a sound upgrade and dash cam I found this pre-wired protected connection. Any ideas on what it is pre-wired for? It’s on the passenger side from the A-pillar...

curious what that is as well... I haven't taken that panel/cover off so don't know if mine or if they all have that? would it be related to the one-touch powertop, and maybe all were prewired with that? any idea if there's current going to it?

Maybe wiring for the adaptive cruise control?

I believe that is power for visor mirror light. On drivers side there is 3 wires one for garage door opener. I had both my visors off to repair them and that's what I had. You can see this in this post:

If I remember correctly, that running through the mirror? I ran my dash cam wires along the Rollbar in that exact spot and came across that as well.

I just saw the visor and mirror post. I’m going to use the right kick-panel accessory wire since I am mounting a backup battery for the dash camera but, at least we know there’s wiring up top for small stuff...

Does your dash camera need a back up battery? Most of them have capacitors or small pack of batteries that will work with a shock sensor, so is that redundant adding another battery?

It doesn’t “need” one, but I tend to be the buy once cry once type, so I just bought everything together. I didn’t want to risk missing something while in parking mode since I work at a large hospital in downtown San Antonio. I have been hit while parked before several years ago and unfortunately the cameras in the garage along with the attendant were NO help.
