Default Radio Install Question - Extra / Spare Harness not needed?

So, I am installing a Pioneer NEX double-DIN in my C5 and using an Axxess XSVI-2004 Amplifier Interface Harness. There are three plugins that go into the rear of the factory stereo. After mocking everything up, I have a spare harness and I have no clue what to do with it.

Can anyone let me know what this is for and if I need this when making this stereo change? I'm guessing that it is not needed, but I'd rather know for sure before I start going through with the final stages of install. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Default This plug is not needed for install

This plug is probably for the trunk mounted CD player which you may or may not have. No need for your purpose.
