    Should I have a brown connector wire for radio?

    Shoulda took pics, lol!

    removed my radio yesterday to hook up rear camera and when I went to put all back I could not find a brown wire to connect to the back of the radio.

    did I ever have a brown wire?? Lol

    I honestly can't remember, but I noticed this morning (first time driving it since) that I got an alert that my SOS was unavailable and I could not get my Bluetooth to connect.

    SO, there was probably a BROWN WIRE! But I just want someone to confirm before I go pulling it all apart again...

    thanks!

    BROWN PLUG, not wire. (Pics of radio rear)

    Pics of radio rear:

    So, now I can't BT connect my iPhone and I'm getting the SOS malfunction message. Went back in...can't find that brown plug, if there ever was one.

    help???

    I can't see those pics. If this is a stock radio then you never had a separate wire for the camera. I have an after market head unit and it has a dedicated wire in case I wanted to install backup camera. As far as your issue with BT, have you tried pairing your phone to the car again?

    All fixed: I used a MOST connector for between the radio and oem wiring bundle and forgot to move my optical cables up to the radio portion of the connector.. All good now.

    thanks!
