I can't see the pic but if the box is in the D/E pillar trim then it must be the antenna module.

If it is behind the seat then it might be a LO-JACK type of vehicle locator.

BLOOD. . Man I would just stop working on your car altogether. LOL. Dont remove your rear seat you might find part of the body. Maybe your STR was a sex addict mafia hitman's car. LOL. Let us know how the Subs sound with the stock amp. I wouldnt mind upgrading mine in the future.

Could do with some more pics, closer up. Looks like the whitish module has writing on it. If you post it we can probably identify it and close in on what's what.

Hey just a thought here. I think someone on here bought an S-Type in the last year and it had a dealer installed tracking box that let's you keep tabs on demo cars? Maybe it's something like that? They're typically used on company fleet vehicles.

The white box looks like the Antenna Amplifier that I saw in the parts ordering program.. Like others have said..Get the camera on the label on the white box...

Also, is the black box hooked to the white box like it looks in the picture? It may be something as simple as a FM Modulator for some sort of audio device that the previous owner had.. Or a tracker / lojack device...

Sorry, all out of jokes...The blood comment is just scarey...

Okay I found out that the white box is in fact the FM transmitter, but the black box attached to it still no clue, my guess it was a tracking device of some sort but now its disconnected...

Thanks for everyone helping out....I'm just glad I got it all back together like how it was

That looks like the Inverse translucent gonkulator interface to the Lucas flux reconstitutor.
