Reinstalling original radio - short line out cable

Hi all,

I just removed an aftermarket alpine radio from my 2002 Boxster and went to install the original radio unit, but as showed in the attached pic, the yellow line out cable looks remarkably shorter than it should be



Can I buy an extender? I can't seem to pull it out any further. It doesn't look like it has been tied up in any way, it just looks extremely short.

Thanks

Ok, so quick update. I managed to figure out the issue. The line out (yellow) was taped up with electrical tape (presumably to make all the wiring into one big bundle). I unwrapped the tape and it took a good 20 mins to manipulate the wiring so that it was all behind the radio as I gently (ok, maybe not gently) forced it back into the holder. Job done. All working!

You're telling me! Emotional overload Glad it's working though. Was worried for a short while.
