Someone (hopefully not you) appears to have butchered the factory wiring to install the aftermarket head unit. That's such a shame since a $10 wire harness adapter would have made the HU plug into the factory harness without any cutting.

You can still fix it if you are so inclined. Get Metra adapter 71-1858 to repair the factory harness and replace the connector that was cut off. Then get Metra adapter 70-1858 to finish the aftermarket HU wires so that it will plug into your repaired harness.

Otherwise, if you prefer to leave it butchered like that, look for the gray wire from the factory wiring and connect it to the red wire of the humount. Then look for the black wire from the factory wiring and connect it to the black wire of the humount.
