Default WTF is this wire?

hello everyone after installing my after market radio on my car it only played on the 2 front speakers and not the ones in the back but after doing some research I found out that the wire harness was missing the connector for the back speakers but while I finding that out I came across this wire in my trunk next to the speak and amp what could this wire be?

sorry, couldn't resist. I recall reading once that this was left over from the diagnostic tools they use across the pond, but i might be lying.

I have the same cord and have been looking for an answer to this question for 5 months now.
