Black flat (6 Pins) for SOS Switch or Sunroof Switch?

I just retrofitted my car with UGDO (white 3 pins) and works perfectly... There was a chuck of other cable sockets (bulky ones) which were hanging on the roof unplug to anything.. However I came a across a 2 wire plugs that caught my attention.. One is flat "black 6 pins" and a flat "blue 3 pins"

Just wondering what they are for?

My car came with TCU BMW Assist but does not have the SOS switch at the roof linear.

They are possibly  for different mirrors (such as auto-dimming or with a compass or summat) and possibly the Homelink remote?

The SOS button came on the next generation E70/71 but Assist was part of the Telematics option I think?  Can't remember what mine came with and whether there was an Assist option on the Nav head display?  I know I had Assist but never used it.

Homelink is the white 3 pins which I just retrofit... I am guessing the black 5 pins are for the sunroof and bunch of others are for sunroof too. Only curiosity is the grey 3pin..

I also just install the mirror compass couple days ago.. it's just uses the same wire for the mirror.. plug and play

Will take some pictures for better clarification
