The red one looks like the wire that tells the aerial when to go up and down when you turn on the radio.
Not sure what the other one is.
Took me about 3 hours to wire the radio into my car as the last owner just cut them all with a knife so I had no idea what was what! Took ages arsing about with a multimeter.
