I'm putting a new stereo in my 2010 Boxster to replace the CDR30 unit. I'm hoping that someone can help me identify the wires. The main connector has a blue block, a green block and two vertical pin outs labeled 1-8 and 9-16 (the long blue sections in the diagram).

Blue Connector Block
Black
Blue
White/Red
Yellow/
White

Green Connector Block
Green
Orange
Black
Pink

The vertical 1-8 block are the speaker wires so I know about those.

Second Vertical Block (9-16)
Black/Blue
Yellow/Blue
Green
White
Red/Brown (thick)
Brown (thick. I believe ground).

Lastly, after taking the dash apart, I noticed another unused antenna at the based of the center dash. See the picture. What is this antenna? See the picture taken from the driver's side footwell. Thank you.
