Default Cable identification help needed

While removing the bad corroded computer from the antannae housing I noticed 2 unattached cables and have no idea what they are for or why they are not connected. Do they fit together? It looks like 2 different male pins with different pin configurations.
The location of these are in the rear passenger side between the antannae and the rear passengers door, but mostly in the trunk area. Here are a couple pictures.



Multiple male pins




Looks like 6 male pins




2 cables just hanging there?!

The prewired towing harness is on the drivers side, so it's not that.

I think it's something for the radio.
These wouldn't go together, would they?

Just an observation ... plugs marked with color (like blue) are part of assembly line check list. Just like we do in our spreadsheets to keep a tally of important things.

Final inspector then marks with yet another color to verify an important bolt/nut has been torqued.

This is how you keep assembly line in shape.

interesting!!
From everthing I've seen and also from the posts here, I'm convinced they are for audio nav upgrades... So I'm leaving it alone!
