Random Plug

Hi. New owner to a 2010 G55.
First GWagon and in love with it.
I started just doing some maintenance and cleaning of the truck, and while I was installing my Dash cam, I decided to put the battery pack where the oem cd-changer goes. I don’t have a cd-changer since I have a 2010. When I took the rear panel off, I saw a random plug that didn’t plug into anywhere, so just wondering if anyone knows where it goes or what it’s for? Did they just leave the plug for the cd-changer even though there is none?

Most likely pre-wired for CD unit. I replaced my CD changer with a 1,000 Watt inverter and then used the bezel to add charge ports. I found several unused plugs there.

I think i found out what this plug is for. Is it for the trailer hitch electrical hook up?

Found this link.
