    On my 2010 CDN touring I see an unconnected plug and conduit, just sorta doubled back on itself for safe keeping. Maybe for radar cruise, or similar?

    The connector is just to the right of windshield washer reservoir cap:

    Can’t really see wires without starting to peel back insulation.

    I don't think there is a dash light for it.

    Might complicate arming the alarm system though.

    I'd never noticed that connector before. For me it's been doubled back on itself and taped from day one. Don't see anything around the hood release to plug into either. Different CDN configuration I guess.
