   Yeah, I think its an earth, just checked mine, If you look at the back of the coil box, to the bottom right hand side there should be a screw or a nut, and it goes into that !

   If you don't earth something near/attached to a stereo, it has a persistent and rather annoying ground loop hiss/whine.

    This should be to the right of the coilpack when you face the engine bay
