Default Two plugs under seat - INFO PLS!

Hey guys,
I looked under my 11 Heritage Softail today while checking the battery for summer and saw two plugs I wasn't familiar with. I've searched the forum and didn't find anything. I probably used the wrong words: Power Adapter, Aux Power, etc.

Does anyone know what these are? The black one looks like a 2 wire SAE adapter, but its capped off and it's "retained by the plastic "cap". The grey one is a 6 wire Delphi (?) male adapter.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to find a keyed auxiliary power take off. Thanks.

Went to the dealership. Delphi is for their diagnostic computer. The SAE looking one is apparently the antenna for a security system. Cool. I didn't know this thing had a security system!

Just FYI....

The grey one is for more than just "their diagnostic computer"...

It is called the diagnostic port or diagnostic plug. It is the plug you use when you want to talk to the ECM, BCM, etc..

If you ever decide to get a flash tuner, a piggy back tuner, or one of the expensive diagnostic tools that can do what the Dealer's computer can do...

That is where you would plug-in the tuner/tool to start "talking" to your bike.....
