    i found a weird black box in my trunk, what is it?

    It was mounted to the ceiling of my trunk, it has a coaxial (cable) connection, something that looks like a parrellel port and a highspeed internet connection port. it was made by motorola and the model no. is s2590a. so guys... what is it?

    oh its about 5 inches wide, 11 inches long and an inch thick.

    I found mine under the rear seat and with the occasional water intrusion I am getting it was rusted solid, i must have pulled at least 12 feet of coax out of the car that day
