Default 1986 Bose Wiring

I know that there are lots of threads out there about this but I have two wires that I can't find a reference to.

Someone cut the wires to put in some junk stereo years ago so I have the job of finding out what goes where. I have everything wired up except two.

Looking at the back of the Delco-Bose, there is a pink wire on the right and a black wire on the left. Does the pink wire go to the pink in the car? The black wire on the right, is it a ground? I ask this because the wire turn green as it goes into the radio.

Also, inside I can see a grey wire with a white stripe that doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Bill

The pink should go to pink, for either the Bose relay or power antenna. I don't recall which is which, but if you look at the schematic for Bose, the terminal locations should answer both of your questions.

The schematic doesn't seem to show the grey/white wire, that goes to HVAC control head for the display dim circuit. You can see that wire in the C68 part of this link.
