Hey Wayne. Your book is awesome - THANK YOU! I have tried a few of the projects with success. I am now a bit stuck. I am attempting to swap out my OEM Becker radio (CDR220) on a 2001 Boxster-S. I purchased the Metra adapter plugs (pictured in the book) and figured it would be an easy swap / plug and play. Problem is that the YELLOW plug (which you have BONUS pictures of on this site - around pic 75 of 105 in the set) that seems to contain speaker wires does NOT fit anywhere on the adapters. My radio has no INPUT capability for RCA plugs and based on the descriptions in the book this should work without additional adapters, right? I could try to chop and splice but 1. don't want to if I can avoid it and 2. the replacement unit has pos / neg wires for speakers NOT a common ground. Help!!!! Thank you!
