Default What is it?

Can someone tell me what these two things are? I am not only new to the forum but new to Jaguars. I bought this from a dealer and they did not know what they were. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The thingy on the left is the microphone for the factory-installed (analog, now useless) cellphone.
I can't tell what the other is - where is it located in the car?

It is located on the top inside of rear windshield. Some type of antenna I think.

Some people have used the overhead microphone. I guess it could be adapted to a 'hands-free' setup somehow.

Old style "thru the glass" cell antenna, with the curly bottom mast on the outside that has been removed, believe it or not, they used to be a status symbol when "mobile phones" were expensive to buy and use, .35 per minute!

I always just used the antenna on the side of my 'bag-phone' that had the big lead-acid battery inside.
