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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey folks, I'm upgrading to the Conti headunit and was able to source the harness adapter for power, but not for the speakers. I know Bergville has a plug n play harness, but unfortunately they're out of stock until August. Has anyone fabbed their own harness and LOC to connect the factory yellow Mini ISO 6 pin male plug to the Conti B block 10 pin female plug? Im hoping I can rig something up to hold me over until August.I cant for the life of me find a 6 pin female plug adapter, and I also dont yet know what 4 channel LOC I can use that will fit and wont require needing RCA plugs. OR if anyone has a spare harness lying around that I could buy off of them For reference: I have an 01 Boxster with dash and door speakers, M490 HAES amp.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Update: I was able to source a harness from discountcarstereo.com. A few bucks more than Bergville but in stock (hopefully).

Did the discountcarstereo harness end up working? (I'm looking to add the exact same head unit to a M490 equipped boxster and also would love to not wait until August)
