Tapping into stereo wiring harness?

I need to connect a wire to my Sony stereo's wiring harness. The wire that i need to run comes out of the head unit, connects with the other wires to the stock wiring harness, but doesn't continue out of the other side of the connector. I thought this would be the best way to connect the wire. But how do I get it to stay put in the connector? Looks like it needs a little tiny female end, but I don't have one that small.

Answer:

Radio Shack usually sells small terminals for radio installs. Or car stereo shops. Are you sure you need to connect that wire? Otherwise, you can just splice the wire to whichever wire it goes to with a butt connector.
I'm guessing the wire goes to the ignition switch, so when you turn your car on the stereo comes on? Yeah, i would just go to radio shack and get whatever you need there. If you gonna do it, do it right the first time. The last thing you want is that wire to ground out somewhere and cause problems.
