That is the antenna for the remote locking system. Your car has had a TSB applied to extend the range. Leave it alone. (Don't wrap it in the bundle) I performed the TSB on mine when I first got my car and it helped a great deal. Now my key fobs don't work so it's a moot point.
To add a little more detail: Originally that white wire was embedded in that cluster of wires and they were all wrapped together. Customers complained about the very short effective distance of the remote lock/unlock. In response, Porsche sent out a Technical Service Bulletin to dealers telling them to separate the white wire from the rest and shorten it to a specific length. TSBs used to be available on Renntech.org but Porsche has since told them to take them down.

Wow, I had my bound copy of TSBs out on my workbench and turned to that page.
I just ran out and took pictures.
