HELP! Unplugged wire under back passenger seat?

Hello,

I was cleaning out the backseat and noticed a loose wire tucked under the rear seat. When I pulled on it, it kept coming and was unplugged.

Here is a pic:

Anyone know what this wire if for?

That's a little strange isn't it? I also found another wire that isn't connected to anything in the compartment where the car battery is.

Why would there by unused wires? That makes NO SENSE whatsoever.

The wire by the battery is only used during shipping. You may find other wires that are for options that are not on your car.

I believe that wire is used during shipping. it's come up before. Something to do with keeping the battery charged when the cars are being transported on the boat.

Yes most likely for shipping, keeps the battery from going dead on the 3-4 week trip to the states.

Look in your trunk, our cars are pre-wired for almost everything. Which is good in case you ever want to upgrade or add an option.
