Rear View Mirror Electrical Cable?

I have the 2011 F250 6.7L XLT and I was wondering if anyone knows what the cable coming from the roof and connecting to back side of the rear view mirror is for or what it does?

I do not have a backup camera (I want to get one installed). I do have Ford's Sync in the truck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I ordered my truck with the backup camera, surprisingly looking at dealer stock in my area, the dealers are not ordering hardly any trucks with the camera, but rather the back up sensors, why I have no idea, to me who cares about the stupid sensors when you can see it in a camera DUHHH!! I think the difference in price between the 2 is like $200 bucks or something.

The cable from the roof to the mirror, powers the mirror to automatically cut glare from headlights at night i think

I think I got an answer from a Ford service dept. They said it is there for outside temp indicator and the on message center compass.
