Anyone use an aftermarket Metra type wiring Harness?

What or where rather do the brown wires hook up to? Is that to control the steering remote? Or are they nothing to worry about.
I did try searching but alas, not many dive in on their own or love their H/K systems. Thank you for any help.

mines not exactly a metra but is identical... no paper work. That does help me that there are a few wires that won't be used. Thank you.
Now if I can get the factory radio out I'm set

Ok I have another really dumb question.
Has there been anyone that had altered their harness to turn on the H/K amp? I saw a pic of the enabler and there is a few extra wires to some sort of circuit. I am not really liking the 102 pound h/k enabler (shipped) and I'm not in the mood for a complete rewire. I'm sure this has been a dead horse, I have searched but haven't found anything real DIY.
