Red yellow black from xsvi to same on radio for power

Blue or blue/white 'amp trigger' from radio to blue/white on xsvi

Match speaker wire output colors between both, plug it in and it should work

Check pots on xsvi to verify they're turned up enough

So the black box in the metra kit that say input output is not used?

I wired everything except for black box there are no wires in kit that hook up into it. I was also left with 2 unusable cords from oem area that were connected to bose unit

you really bought the wrong harness
The xsvi is known for issue
Dont be surprised if you have a dead battery some morning as your stereo wont shut off and it will run your battery dead
yea you keep RAP with this unit but your going to have issues
the pac roem-vet1 is the best harness to use for your car.

follow marks info as well for this harness
