Default Phone cord by Rear View Mirror

Hello to All,
I don't want to sound stupid, but I can't figure out what this phone cord sticking out of the interior roof of my car is for. Radar detector? It is coming out of the opening nearest the rear view mirror anchor. I have searched my manuals to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Probably the power cord for a Valentine 1 installed by the previous owner. The design of this detector uses standard 4-wire phone cords with RJ11 connectors.

DING DING DING - we have a winner on the first reply! Mine had that too when I bought it and luckily I already have a V1 detector. The wire is powered by the dome light, and cuts off with the ignition. Excellent mod to have!

Thanks for the quick responses!
Now, where is the best place to get a V1?

For a new one, I think there's only one place - Valentine's website. Just google it.
