Have you figured this out yet?

One important question... about the "RED" ACC wire depends on the year of your car.

For example, the B7 has no RED wire for ACC from the factory harness. (Even though the Metra harness provides one.) You have to purchase an adapter (Connects2 or PAC SWI-CAN) to provide the RED ACC wire. The signal for the ACC is interpreted from the CAN Bus.

Without this.... you will have ....NOTHING!!! (HU won't power up!)

You don't have a B7 do you?

^Agreed.

On the factory harness, check the pin location that is where the red wire on the metra harness is and make sure there is a wire there. If not you can run a new acc to either the ignition harness or the fusebox.

You need the Red/12v Switched/ACC wire connected. On most Audi's you have to run this wire separately, it is not on the oem harness.

All you need is Red, Yellow, and Black and the unitl will power up. Make sure those connections are sound then test to make sure the unit works.
