Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
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.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 2Original post

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!
