Is this the harness for what would be a sub woofer and rear power outlet? And if it is, does anyone know if/how I can tap into it? Being relatively new here, do any of you know anyone more versed on this forum that I can run this question by?

You might have to install a fuse to get 12V power out of that connector. It does power the rear 12V power outlet that's in the factory sub housing, but I found this pic of the fuse box. I doubt they put that fuse in if the sub enclosure was not an original factory option.

Were you able to complete the install? I'm looking to do the same thing as wanted to tap into the harness.

I'd be curious as to which would be the hot (power) and ground leads back there. If anyone tears into this, please post some pics and results. I have a 12v outlet I'd love to install in back.

Did you ever figure out what this plug is?

The plug does contain 12 power for an outlet (Blue w/ red tracer = 12v Black = ground). It is switchable to either ACC or BATT by switching fuse M7 (in under hood fuse box) from side to side.

M7 is the same fuse that powers the 12v socket in the center console cubby.

I plan on installing a 12v socket in the rear, I just have to find the right place because the panel to body clearance is really shallow in some places.

Forget 12volts I'm curious about Audio coming from the plug

I've always wanted to install a factory sub

I guess I need the amp right ?

The plug, as noted, provides 12VDC power to the accessory outlet attached to the sub enclosure. It also has four (4) wires for the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a dual 2 ohm speaker so it takes four wires (2 ground and 2 audio lines). As a side note, I would not power anything that takes more than an amp or two off the 12VDC circuit as the wires are really small.

Thanks ! Very helpful
You read my mind about putting an amp off that line- have decided to go under the seat instead.

Yeah, that's why I pulled the sub-enclosure, to see if I could install an amp back there. Just now finishing an under the seat amp install myself.
