Are these cables for a CD changer?

I recently noticed these cables in the hatch of my '02 R50. Anyone know what they're for?

Thanks.

They are usually stuffed in the sidewall....and not threaded under the liner like that...perhaps the previous owner had an aftermarket cd-changer installed, and they changed the location of the wires.
The same harness is also used to connect the factory satalite radio.

I'm pretty sure that they are the changer wires. Like zippy said, I think the previous owner just pulled them down under the liner.

Actually, in my old '02 MCS, those wires were threaded under the edge of the right panel, but above the boot mat. When I bought my '06 MCS, the wires were still taped up. I ran them under the edge as well for my factory CD changer.
