Does this plug belong to the radio?

I pulled my old aftermarket radio a long time ago and just recently I put in the aftermarket wire harness back in, but I've only got three connectors ( a blue white and black), but I have this connector left over. Where does it go? Am I missing part of my aftermarket stereo harness?

Looks like the illumination leads for the factory radio.. should have been plugged into a 2-pin connector that was attached to the rear of the radio.

So do I use that with my aftermarket stereo or leave it disconnected?

Anyone know what the red (pink) wire is officially for?

I got yellow is ignition, orange is definitely the "hot at all times" like DaveP said.
All the rest are in this thread, except the red wire.

On My panasonic unit I just used the main harness and left that one alone and it works perfectly fine retaining its memory and everything, so depending on what head unit you have you may or may not have to do anything with that. I ended up just tucking it away.

The red wire is actually pink and is for power antenna. I also determined brown and gray do the same thing. They must be both dimmer. They both are 0 volts with lights off and then fluctuate a little around 10V or 12V with lights on and dimmer switch up and down.

That looks like the glove box light connector.

My brown varies +/- voltage a little bit.

C'mon people! It's a stereo connector in my hand, not glove box light. We established that a while ago.
