Hi all!
New Porsche owner here 🙂
Got myself a 2001 Boxter S in speed yellow with 31k miles, super excited!!
First project will be to replace the CDR-220 with a new aftermarket head-unit so i can use appleplay etc.
My Porsche appears to have the factory Amp and the Door Speakers.
I purchased the new radio, wiring harness (Metra 70-1787), dash kit, USB input for carplay, and the antenna adaptor but was wondering about the wiring from the aftermarket radio to the harness.
In the CDR-220 i see a yellow plug and a black plug. (pictures attached)
Is it just a matter of matching up the wire colors on both the new head unit adaptor with the wiring harness? Are there any gotchas that i need to watch out for?
Sorry, complete noob here with wiring and just looking for some basic advice.Thanks all

Thanks again Duster, I don't think I will be adding a backup camera though!
