Basic Radio Installation Question

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere buried in one of the radio installation threads, but I was hoping somebody could help me out anyway. I'm replacing the generic non-JBL radio in my 2004 SR5:

I've pulled the radio and found that I have some extra plugs I don't know what to do with. Specifically I have the Metra 70-1761 adaptor kit recommended by Crutchfield, but it only accounts for the two sockets on the back panel shown:

The socket on the far left is also used and has three wires connected to its mating plug as shown:

I don't know what these three wires are for and whether I need to hook them up to the new radio in some way (there doesn't appear to be a place to connect them in any case). Do I just leave the extra plug hanging and ignore it in the installation?

In addition, do I need to do anything with the smaller 2nd antenna (socket shown in picture above) or can I leave that hanging too?

Thanks a lot guys!

Leave them hanging. I believe those 3 wires are for steering wheel controls. You'll need and adapter module if you like to use them.

Thank you very much. The Crutchfield page linked above indicates those three wires are for steering wheel controls (which I don't have). So leave them hanging it is.
