Good plan!
After you get the connector but before pulling the roof, remove the blank cover plate in the headliner and pull the factory harness out far enough to double-check compatibility. Also, from the photo, it looks like the radio-side of the connector has more input-leads than will be used by the factory harness.
When hooking up, you can check which wires in the factory harness go to which speaker by touching them to the terminals of a 9v battery and listening for the diaphragm to "thump". Polarity to the speakers doesn't matter unless you want to be sure the speakers are in phase (of dubious importance in that tractor cab, IMO!). If that matters to you, you'll need to note the direction the diaphragm moves as you touch the wires, then make sure both move in the same way with the polarity you've chosen. I think you may have to have the roof off to see that, as I didn't see an easy way to remove the speaker grills from inside the cab.
Be sure to let us know if that's the right connector, for the benefit of future NX owners. :thumbsup:
