Haven't seen that myself either. Did have one truck w/aftermarket cruise that had the pickup on the coil lead AND the magnet on the driveshaft. Not sure why they used both. Maybe one quit working.
Yes, I would just take it off and connect the cable normally until you can find a replacement piece, or set up a new pick-up as mentioned above. See if you can determine who makes the kit (roestra, audivox, etc.) and see if they have a replacement part or if they can offer you some guidance using the coil or driveshaft pick-up.
