Not stupid at all mate -

It's a photo/video hosting site - Most Forums request you upload images/video's to a hosting site so it doesn't clog up their webspace.

Post by: RobG on 03 November 2013, 19:44:38: Grey cable = FM
Black cable = GSM
Red/white = switched feed for radio
Connector for GSM is a "Fakra"

Simplest way is to remove HU & cage and thread the cable from there across and down to kickpanel

You will need the Male / Female equivalent to mate it to the correct coax cable, knowledge of how to strip the cable and crimp the connector and the correct Crimp Tool.

Seeing as you have pulled the plug from its housing you may as well just get yourself an inline crimp type one, then Tape or Amalgamate it afterwards.
