That is the antenna cable and plugs into the head unit. Pull out the radio and look for a hole that it will fit.

Look at the DIY section.
Finding the screw that hold it is a bitch.

Alot of people can not find it.

But you can feel it, then use the correct tools to remove it.

It doesn't have to connect the floor to the radio, it has to connect the antenna to the radio.
