Thanks BigRuss, I traced the wire under the glove box where it was attached to a similar wire which had been cut and had black tape attached to it. My question is, why would someone want to remove the hands free?

Alan, Webasto made the sunroof for our cars

Lots of hands free kits get removed when the owner upgrades and the new phone won't work with it.
