1996 civic computer behind cup holders

[Dalton sheets]

I have a 1996 civic ex with a d16y8 5 speed power windows etc.
I took the center console apart the other day and I found a computer board thing with a couple connectors on it and it's about 7x7 inches or so idk.
I just feel like it should be in a plastic box or something. The previous owner had it wrapped in like plastic bag with electrical tape every which way lol. I just want to know what it is what it's supposed to look like.
This is my first post so I'm sorry if I'm being hard to read.

Can you take a couple pictures of it and post them? It sounds like it might be an old alarm or something. Hopefully it's not the ECU.

The OBD1a ECU's (96-98) are oblong in shape. Something like 8x5 or so (I'm guessing here...nowhere near accurate...). There's no way the ECU is behind the cup holders, because the harness simply will not reach that far. It comes through the firewall behind the glove box, and straight down to the passenger side kick panel.

Only thing i can think of, is either an old alarm, or amp/radio related... But like others have stated, pics would do wonders.

Probably the srs control unit. Are the connecters on it yellow?

Most likely it's the old radio to keep the factory keyless entry

Connectors are green and white and the other green one was just laying there. Car was really unmolested when I got it so I'm lost with the craftmanship on it lol.
Is that a good picture?

 

[Szady]

Thanks for the pic, but...it's pretty useless... Unwrap it? lol

Looks like a brick of hash with harnesses plugged in.

Ding!

 

[Dalton sheets]

Hahaha first thing I thought when I saw it. I'll unwrap it in a bit

 

[HeX]

I agree. That looks to be the keyless entry unit pulled out of the factory radio. I would personally unwrap it and consider protecting it another way because being wrapped in plastic must be insulating alot of heat, thus wearing it out fast.

My 1st impression was a kilo of blow. Joe mason called it 1st.

 

[Joe Mason]

OP, did you open it up?

 

[TS2008]

too busy selling hash...

Paging @Dalton sheets Did you figure out what was all wrapped up?

 

[Dalton sheets]

Sorry for the late reply, it was the keyless entry unit. I went to the junk yard and pulled one with an enclosure yesterday.
Thanks for the help guys.
