Default Weird cable included with S50
I got the S50 + Car Kit, and it seems great so far. I have one trivia question: included was a small piece of cable that doesn't appear to be referenced in the manual at all. It's got a headphone-like jack on it, appears to be just about 6 inches long, with an antenna-like tip on it. What is it? Thanks! Jon

It plugs into the FM out. It will help transmit the FM signal to your radio better.

Calm down skippy. Like mentioned above, the small cable plugs into the FM out. If you have the S50 plugged in through the AUX out, you don't need this cable. You don't need this cable at all unless you receive static while using the FM modulator.

Default Speaking of FM Out...
Speaking of the FM out input on the S50...I just got a replacement unit from the warranty center (after waiting literally 6 months for it), I noticed that a) the FM transmitter is MUCH weaker than it was before, and b) they seem to have plugged the FM Out port with a piece of plastic. Any ideas how to get that out? Thanks,

- Ben

Yup, just take an X-acto knife and pry it out.
