I believe it means your car is prewired for telephone. Do these wires exist in your trunk? They are the prewire option (I believe it was/is standard on US-spec cars, optional on others).

I never understood this: Does it mean that it is prewired for a wired phone, or it is prewired for a bluetooth connection to the audio system?

The connection is to enable the cellular antenna in the shark fin. It should include appropriate parcel shelf wiring for bluetooth.

Thank you. Does it in any way involve the black plastic compartment inside the center console?

Prewiring should include power and antenna wires in there to make retrofits easy. if you have a 03/04 and newer build E60, Bluetooth could be enabled at the dealership.
