Default Where does this cable belong....?

So I removed my backseat to verify and eliminate some squeeks and rattles and came upon a disconnected cable taped to a wire. It seem to be part of the navigation system but all connections as far as I can see is there. Navigation is working fine and tracking true. Does anyone have any ideal where the goes and what equipment it may belong too?

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if something was disconnected during sub install. But I don't have a phone installed in the car. Must be from the previous owner.

Your GS was prewired at the factory for a dealer installed phone. My LS was also and I tapped into the prewire phone harness, including the antenna cable, when installing my aftermarket phone kit.
