Need Help installing Pioneer stereo!

Ok, so I'm installing my Pioneer stereo into my G3 Teg. I can remove the stock radio easily enough. Two wires attached in the back: one is the antenna, and the other is a long white cable end that fits into the back of the stock radio. I have no trouble pulling out the old radio and the dash pocket thing beneath it. Also, I can easily attach the cage for my new stereo to the dash box that sits beneath it. I am having trouble with the cables though.

I bought these from Circuit City at their advice:


The end on the left fits into the back of my Pioneer stereo. I linked that cable easily to the "Honda to Universal" piece. My problem is that I cannot figure out for the life of me where that blue end connects to! It definitely does not connect to the white piece that fit in to the back of my stock radio. Here is a closer image of the blue end:



I dug all around in the dash and I can't find whatever piece it is that I connect to. Any advice? Was I sold the wrong cable? I really appreciate any help!

They sold you the wrong plug, that blue one is wrong. That end should look like this:

i work at circuit city, and those pioneer harnesses are ftl. they suck. they dont make a good connection and the speakers will cut in and out and from side to side. the sony's, jvc's, panasonic, etc all work fine. but for some reason every pioneer we do fucks up. we just hard wire the pioneer's now. i suggest doing that, or at least putting some kind of dielectric grease on there. its not really a conductor, but it might help.
