It should be on the driver side in the rear somewhere. My BOSE was working fine before it went into the paint shop, but after that it didn't work and a bit of fiddling around at the audio shop, we found that they had forgot to plug the thing back in.

If your car didn't originally come with the BOSE then chances are you don't have a connector which in that case you might have to run an amp to power it. Try posting in the audio/visual section.

I've been in one Touring model, once. As I remember, they have map pockets in place of the rear speakers, so if you don't get those hooked up you're really SOL on the sound system...

I have that connector unplugged also but everything works fine..... I assumed it was for something extra that didn't come with the car....

Have you tested them to make sure they work fine? You can do this by adjusting the fade on your headunit to rear speakers only.

Well, i never saw any other ones, but I adjusted it and I hear the bass from them.... Its not like the subs ppl usually install and you can hear a mile away but, it works..... quality sound imo

In case we are talking about different things, the boose subs ARE connected! But its another plug. Not the one he is showing on the picture.

yea mine is a touring model, but the guy had this out of the car before i bought it, and now im trying to hook it back up... really annoying trying to find where that goes, i mean i tore apart that whole driver side rear looking for the other side to that connector, its nowhere under any of the plastic or anything

That might be the diagnostic connector.

So you are saying that you are getting no sound out of the bose tube? Are you still running the stock bose deck?

There are two connectors in the hatch. That one in your pic, and a wider, rectangular one. You only need the rectangular one. I don't know what that one is for.

My Bose system works flawlessly, after replacing all the front amps/speakers. Lovin' it!

Are any of your other speakers working? Also, what HU are you using? If it's an aftermarket one, what does your wiring look like? The rear amp is usually the last to blow.

Where is the front amp located? is it near the dash speaker location?
