What's all this?

Hey all, I was taking the driver seat out of my car today and as soon as I took it out I saw all this:

Sorry for the shitty phone pic, but I pulled up the seat to find a shitload of wires under the seat. All of them but one had an actual plug on them, but they weren't plugged into anything! I have no idea what is/was there that required all of them. One of the cables is an audio jack of all things so it could have been an old stereo system, that's all I've got. Also worth pointing out that this is a JDM E30 wagon. I'm thinking I should just rip it all out because it obviously isn't doing anything, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

all i can think of is the seat belt sensor, electric/heated seats it was ever an option

I think seat belt too, but I don't have heated seats. I think I'll just cut it all out and cap the wires then they weren't doing anything previously

Looks like aftermarket stuff best I can tell. Probably stereo/phone related.

Are you just holding it there to take a pic - or is it coming out of the carpet? At least one of the connectors looks like a RF connector - so I'll guess cell phone. Congrats, your car was owned by either a pimp, or a doctor. Or a doctor's pimp. Or a pimp's doctor. Something like that.

Yeah the headphone jack made me think that.

Lucky me ;) It was previously in Japan and from what I know they get into some pretty wacky and over the top electronics so maybe it's that.
