Help identify this wire please

I went in and took off the side piece to get the the FSU last night left side of passenger footwell. Well after a big struggle I did get the plug for the FSU unplugged (what a pain). Anyway when I took off the cover to get in there I noticed this wire with the plug at the end took up in there. Looks like it should plug into something put it was just hanging there. Anyone know what it is? I have more pics if needed.

Looks like an antenna or digital coax cable of some type. Do you have the factory radio still or an aftermarket? If factory, I wouldn't worry about it. If aftermarket, I'd check to see if you still have radio reception

It is the stock radio. I bet you are right on the antenna. Good eye thanks. Just want to make sure it was not to someting else. It plugs into that cable that has the black tape on it.
