Talked to the techs at Metra this evening, and if anything they have confused me more. They insisted to do it right I would not only need their harness, but also their ax-aloc608 adjustable converter. Reason being that the stereo I am buying isn't putting out 4v, more like 2v. They say that the converter allows a step up in voltage that will allow stereo to function correctly. Also was told that with the 70-1786 harness I would only need to hook up the grey and white RCA jacks as crossfires only operate on the front channel. Guy seemed to know quite a bit of specifics about the car. In the end I may do as the guy that wrote the PDF did and use the VW harness unless I find it incapable.
