It goes to the optional laser that you can use to blast bad drivers off the road...

If I remember correctly, it's either for the amplifier or CD changer.

That cable is supposed to connect to the BT antenna that sits on top of the CD changer shelf in the trunk.

I thought that antenna wire went to the spoiler thing just above the rear window and that's where you mounted the antenna?

There's 2 different antennas. One is the cellular antenna in the spoiler to provide extra signal strength to the phone (assuming you have a snap-in adaptor and a compatible phone) and the other is the bluetooth antenna for providing bluetooth connectivity within the vehicle.
