The plug is a "Fakra" connector and is for the aerial or "diversity antenna".

On a normal aftermarket unit there isn't anywhere to connect this additional aerial. Simply use the normal connector, and make sure you get an adapter to get 12v feed to the aerial amplifier

What he said ^^

If you get a quality harness adapter it should be part of it. Like this one for a Pug -
