Unhappy Radio Wiring Harness Issue! Issue Solved!

I need some help. I have a 2004 Touring Z with the Bose system. When I was removing the stock bose radio one of the wiring harness connectors fell apart on me. I have the ability to put it back together but I don't know the order the wires go in the connector. I need to find a picture of the connector so I know how to reassemble it. If someone has a picture of the connector when its put together that would be awesome. It is the largest of the connectors that plug into the Bose system. The one with the larger gauge yellow wire in it. The picture below is the loose wires, and the second picture is the connector.

That's exactly what I needed! Thanks!
And to answer your question. On my Subaru I just grounded the "parking break" wire and it would work all the time. Hopefully that will work with my new stereo in my Z as well.

Running the parking brake wire to ground does the trick on certain units. Google your particular unit to be sure.

Great job coming to the op's rescue!

It says
"For best safety, be sure to connect to parking sensor"


I guess i should be good just running it to the "ground/black wire" on the harness, i wanted to get everything soldered up in home so i can just bring it to car and PNP!

Hu model: DDX418 (Kenwood)

I had a kenwood DVD(can't remember model#) unit a couple years back and I grounded the parking brake wire so my daughter could watch movies when she was rolling with me.

You will probably have to ground it to the chassis behind the radio along with the main radio ground wire.
