Question 1997 e320 Antenna Wiring Question

There are 2 coax cables in the rear left wheel well. One is for the integrated cell phone antenna and has a mini-UHF connector. What is the other coax cable with the FME (nipple) connector intended for, and where is the other end of the cable located? I can't find anything about it in ALLDATADIY ?
Thanks!

I believe it goes to your center armrest console, where the cellular phone is connected to the antenna cable. With the phone installed, a compensator goes in the wheel well, thus the break in the cable. The FME connector is fitted with an adapter to convert to male Mini-UHF. The compensator (actually, for 1997 it might be a 3-watt BOOSTER instead) is fitted with two female Mini-UHF connectors and completes the antenna connections.
