Looks like the wires that control steering wheel controls. They plug into the opposite side of the main plug on the rear of the radio.

I may be wrong. I am just saying thats what it kind of looks like.

My IROC did not have that plug, but it also has the older style 4-plug type deal in it, in 89 they swapped over to that style. Maybe someone else will chime in on the subject.

Re: What does this wire belong to?

Ahh, i think I've seen that diagram around here a few times. I think when i get to install the radio I'm just going to leave that plug out of it cause it seems its useless in my case.
