backup camera question

Installed rear view camera with all the info on this board (thanks to all that posted info on this).
My question is that when i pluged in the video in the command there was already a connector plugued in there, can anyone tell what it is for?
I unpluged & checked all the functions , everyting seems to work ok.
I have a 2009 c350 with command & media interface.(canadian version)
Thanks in advance.

The plug above the FAKRA I think is for the I-Pod interface. I didn't have anything in the FAKRA bt did have to pull the other plug to put the camera plug in ,the reinstalled the I-Pod (I think) plug.

No, this was a green fakra connector that was pluged in the same place where i plugued in the rear view camera.
Just wondering if its possible that it is prewired for backup camera or somthing else.

I found out what the connector was for.
My car as the media interface, so it as a video in from the media interface.
