Probably connection for an antenna on the GPS reciever. Or maybe for TV. In Japan I believe they're allowed to have video in the front screen. So maybe the JDM vehicles used it for an antenna so TV could be displayed on the screen?

I noticed that too yesterday when I pulled apart my whole interior. I was dynamatting my whole car

Nope, its actually a coaxial cable. The connector is a bit smaller. Kind of like the connector on a WiFi wireless card on a computer.
