  1. Hello - I am struggling with connecting my replacement stereo for my CDR-220 in my 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 4.  I have looked at tons of forums and every ones setup seems slightly different.  

     

    I don't believe I have an amp, just the CD Changer.  I have included a picture of the trunk below.

    I am using the Metra 70-1787 Harness.

    The connectors I have show

    ---- the Porsche Yellow Green and Blue connectors going into Connector C on the CDR-220

    ---- nothing in Connector B on the CDR-220

    ---- the Porsche black connector into Connector A on the CDR-220

     

    I have plugged the color connectors into the Metra's Single Red connector 

    I plugged the black connector into the section of the Metra's Black connector where the colored wires are.

     

    Metra Black connector wires 

    ---- All gray/white wires are unused?   (or am I supposed to connect one of the colored connectors to this for hard wired speakers?

    ---- Black matched to Pin 8 Ground ----> Connected to Black ground on Pioneer?

    ---- Yellow matches to Pin 7 Ignition? ---> Connect to Pioneer Ignition

    ---- Orange matches to Pin 6 Lumination?    Is this unused for the Pioneer?

    ---- Red matches to Pin 4 Constant 12v ---> Connect to Pioneer Ignition

     

    Metra Red connector

    ---- RCA plugs connect ---> Connect to the back of the Pioneer and their RCA openings

    ---- WHAT DOES THE BLUE WIRE CONNECT TO?  It seems to infer it has to plug to something to turn the amp on?

     

    The behavior I see right now with the Metra blue wire unconnected and the orange wire unconnected is that the radio will turn on and off as expected and operate however I get no sound :(  I am assuming either the Metra blue wire or Orange has to connect to something?  Or possibly I need to not use the RCA wires and plug one of the color connectors into the black Metra connector and use the gray wires to hard wire speakers?
