There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, for my installation, it didn't work. There is only wiring for the front speakers. It is missing the full set of rear speaker wires on the black adapter. The Porsche Bose system does not work with the RCA preamp outlets. So, if your install doesn't work using the RCA preamp outputs, you have to hard wire the front and rear speakers. For my installation, I had to buy the Metra 70-1784 wire harness as well to make my installation work.
It would be just better if Metra would just add the rear speaker wires in the harness if you use them or not.
Wiring this up with the fairly straightforward instructions took about twenty minutes including soldered connections with heat-shrink tubing -- means of connection I recommend for faultless reliability.
Then the install process took about fifteen minutes, mostly to deal with the trim around the old radio.
Works perfectly, looks and acts professional, and facilitates a reversible installation.
PS: this is the same harness supplied by car-audio specialty re-sellers for many Porsche/VW/Audi vehicles; applicable to those models that do not require a bus decode to provide switched power.
One reason many people I know ALWAYS use this type of harness is for if their deck gets stolen. If the thief is able to get past all of your security and would be in the position where they could freely pull the deck out they will yank til there is resistance, they then look and disconnect the cables and RCAs. If you have a soldered and heat shrinked bundle of wires they will grab there and then pull, probably getting all your important dash wires ripped out at their bases. Worst case scenarios happen so as well as every security technique this harness should not be overlooked.
