Looks like someone rigged up an aux cord with power for an MP3 player, GPS, or even a radar detector. Plug a source into the aux input and switch your radio to "aux", it should play over your sound system.

Don't think so- looks like a plastic piston of some kind, think it might be the connector for the glove box? You can see the flashlight in the background in the third picture…

it is shock absorber/piston/shock/lifter for the glove lid... looks like it is broken,, there should be another one on the opposite side of the lid...
