Help please...where does this wire go?

I was uninstalling my BMS tuning gauge (upgraded to JB4) tonight and ran into a snag. As I was fishing the cable to the gauge back into the cabin throught the firewall at the steering column, the DB9 connecter must've gotten hung up and yanked this wire out. I have no sound whatsoever coming from any speakers, so I'm sure this is related. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It'd be really awesome if somebody could take down their kick panel and get a photo so I have some idea where this thing goes. Thanks in advance!

Update: The speakers were unrelated to this wire. I forgot that I unplugged a different wire to take the kick panel off. Plugged that one back in and the speakers work fine. Still no idea on this "mystery wire" though.

Tested everything out when I got home from work yesterday, and I couldn't find anything the wasn't working right. Radio, AC, etc. all worked fine, blinkers, brake lights, wipers, everything I could think of. Just went ahead and put it back together with the wire still disconnected. Will probably have the dealer check it out next time I go in.

Did you test the electronic boot release button that is located there?

Sorry to resurrect an old post, but I just ran into this last night... did you find out what it actually was? The only thing I can come up with is that it's for a speaker that our car doesn't have. The panel even has the cut out for a speaker, but there is insulation covering it.

Hahaha wow, sure didn't expect to ever see this again! I never did figure out what it ran to, but it's never caused any issues. I just ran it out of the way and forgot about it lol.
