Default What is the extra 3 wire plug, r.pass footwell?

In my 03 Z06, there is an unused plug taped to the harness by the right foot of the passenger. I can't find it in the service manual. It has a green wire, orange wire and black/white tracer wire. It is NOT the accessory harness which is on the left side. It appears as it might be the supply to the power antenna(doesn't have pink, but pink and green can do the same thing in the radio wiring according to the manual). It might be the plug for the antenna amplifier used in the coupe in some years(windshield antenna).
Anyone know? I would like to use it for the power antenna I am installing, but wanted to check here first. Thanks

Found it in the manual, it is the power antenna plug, what a deal! Much easier than I thought.

It sounds like it might be one of the auxiliary plugs for connecting the factory 12-disk CD changer; there should be another one nearby (shown in the background of the huge pic below).

Does it look like this (sorry for the huge pic ):



Many of us use these plugs to hook up an aftermarket iPod adapter

I believe this is the harness used for the 12 disk CD player. When I installed this into my car, the harness that I purchased for this purchase connected directly to it.

I cant remember which wires are which but one is +12v constant, +12v ignition switched, and ground. I would use a relay if you are going to run anything big (10+ constant amps) on that circuit

I used it for my XM commander adapter, since I don't have a 12 disc changer, everything plugged in works great!
