C230 Electrical wiring questions
I was doing some cleaning up in the trunk of my coupe and found some wires hanging around. In the trunk right panel, I found three wires. In the left panel, i removed the fuse box and found one blue wire with a plastic connector.
Im worried that the blue wire has somehow got unhooked from the fuse box. Can someone familiar with the electricals on the car please identify that wire so I know if I should try to nsert it back or not.
Also, I know that the other three wires have something to do with the Bose sound system or just the MB stock sound system. But can someone please give me a few more details about what exactly these wires are. One is a fibre optic cable, the other is a computer printer type connector and the thirs looks like an antenna connector.
Pics attached.
The help is appreciated guys.

As you probably know, these cars are pre-wired for lots of things whether they end up having the feature or not. It's my assumption that these wires are part of the pre-wiring for options your car didn't have.

You will find many wires & fibre optics going nowhere. It all depends on what options are fitted to the vehicle.

Thanks for all your replies guys.
While I know that these wires are probably for options that didnt get fitted into my car, I figured if I know what purpose they were supposed to serve, I could use them for other stuff like my mods.
Which is why I would like to know what exactly these four wires are connected to. Any MB electrical gurus here?
