What are these connections I found

I dropped a 5/16th socket in to the well in the rear driver side getting my bluetooth code. Why was I using a 5/16th on a clearly metric automobile, that's another story...

I came across some connections that I don't know what they are or what they plug in to. Is the first connection for satelite radio? I believe these could mean my X5 is satelite ready. I don't have a DSP radio.



The next connection was on the inside of the area that holds the spare, right by the tail gate toward the right of center.



The rectangle shape looks similiar to the female portion of the OEM Subwoofer.



If so (perhaps wishful thinking) would an OEM Sub be plug and play?

1st pic: I'm pretty sure that the pink coloured plug you're holding is for the ULF module (bluetooth unit). In fact it looks like you have a ULF module. It's usually installed on an angle and has a metallic finish. The BT code is affixed on one side (a 4 digit pin). Do you currently have BT working?
Not sure about the other brown and yellow wired plug, sorry.

2nd pic: I'd guess and say that's probably something to do with the tow harness, given its location, but not totally sure.

Thanks. I have the Bluetooth working and yes it does look the same. The round connection inside of the link plug does look like my aftermarket Sirius antenna connection.

Tow harness, that makes sense.
