Well, the brown wire is a ground, so just attach the ground from the radio to something metal. I cant remember whats behind the dash, but just find a metal facing with a screw/bolt and use that as a ground. Be sure that the metal plate is attached to the body somewhere. If not, then just extend the ground wire from the radio and find a ground anywhere, even if you have to go all the way to the battery.
But what I wanna know is, why would you cut the factory wiring and ruin the harness? They make plug in kits ya know.
