OEM Aux-in has 4 wires?

So I'm assuming the first three are for the left channel, right channel, and ground. Any idea what the 4th wire would be? Is that 3.5mm jack one of those 4-contact ones? If so, any ideas what the 4th contact is used for?

The wiring diagram only shows 3 wires. The 4th might not be connected to anything.
