Does Anyone Know What These Are

I was looking through my trunk in my 07 328i coupe & found these cables and a silver box. Can anyone tell me what these cables are for & the silver box?

Definitely looks like, one of many, an OEM amp. There's a part number on it by the looks of it in the first picture.

Google it since I can't make it out

@ syndicategt: you mean the silver box is a "flux capacitor"? if so I do hear a noise from the trunk after I park my car.

That noise you hear is probably due to your blinker fluid being low.

fiber optic shit for the optional cd changer or ULF module for bluetooth. this also ties into the entire car computer fiber optic system bus (MOST bus). there is a similar fiber optic hidden above the pedals in the driver footwell. the bus is basically a loop.

I was going to say it looked fiber optic, but I wasn't sure if they used that on anything but the Logic7 systems.

You have one! lol

The last picture is the plug that plugs into the OEM CD changer.

It's also used as a type of AUX input. I believe DICE and other iPod integration units use that plug to integrate iPods into your oem head unit.
