installing bose system issue

Theres a 6 pin plug female end that connects to the bose system

Then theres a really small grey one, I can't find the other connection!



As you look at the pic, the top half goes towards the rear hatch

Am I blind, or is there something missing on the car , and what do I get to make the connection

I'm pretty sure it's the amp connection I'm missing

Also there's an aux cord on the right side of the trunk under the plastic housing the jack , not sure what that connects to, as nothing on the bose system has aspot to plug it in, Idk

Why would you want to connect the worst Bose system ever made for a vehicle? Not worth getting it to work again, take it out to reduce weight and get an aftermarket sub like a Bazooka self amped sub.

I wish I did!

thank you for the post, I don't know how to read wiring diagrams though

I feel like there should be something that points to the connections of the sub and amp on the bose system in a simple way.

I searched every thread, and looked in the fsm

the green 6 pin connection is for the subs , i think


and the smaller connection above it is for the amp, i think, but idk what that looks like from the factory

Pretty sure you only use the green 6 pin connector, 4 wires for left & right + & - & 2 wires for the amp power. I read somewhere that the other connector is just a test connector.

That is how the connector works if your car originally came with the bose system it should be plug-n-play.
