I took out the center console and I found these two connectors just hanging there, I searched and I did not see anywhere to connect them. Does anyone know what these are for and where do they go? Both pics are of the same thing.

Maybe plug for under the armrest phone cradle? ... At least the smaller connector look like coax for an ext. antenna plug.

I thought so too but after careful inspection there was no plugs from underneath the phone cradle.

That is what it looks like if you ever take out the center armrest console. To the left is the emergency brake, the vent is the one that connects to the rear. The wires on top, the purple connector and the bigger black wire is what I am trying to figure.

Found the answer to one of the connectors in this post.
