1991 944 stereo wiring issues
Ok so I ordered the crutchfield stereo harness and it goes a little something like this:
(from the top)
Pin 1: Black (ground)
Pin 2: Red (12v ign)
Pin 3: Orange (dimmer)
Pin 4: Blue (remote/power ant)
Pin 5: Yellow (12v)
Pin 6: Blank
Here is what my car's harness looks like:
Pin 1: Double brown
Pin 2: Green w/ white stripe
Pin 3: Blank
Pin 4: Double red w/ black stripe
Pin 5: Red
Pin 6: Double brown w/ black stripe
The blank isn't in the right place. Whats more is that im pretty sure I dont have a power antenna because its in the windshield. How do I make this thing work? I have a 1991 944 cabrio with the 8 speaker system.

The windshield antenna has a amplifier which requires switched 12v power. If someone doesn't chime in soon, I'll break out the schematics and give you the pinouts.

Pin 1: Wire 1 goes to ground point II. Wire 2 goes to the equalizer (if equipped). [Ground].
Pin 2: Goes to what looks like a simple connector, the 2 wires coming off the connector go to the clock and to fuse 36 (15A) which is powered through the ignition switch. [Switched power].
Pin 3: is indeed blank. It appears that this may have a mute function for the telephone as the wiring schematics states "PIN3 MUTE NOT ON CD PLAYER" and the telephone schematic references this as well. [Another portion of the panel states that this pin has a function associated with the lights].
Pin 4: wire 1 powers the windshield antenna amplifier, wire 2 goes to equalizer (if equipped). [Antenna amp power].
Pin 5: goes to equalizer where another wire goes to fuse 39 (15A). [Constant power].
Pin 6: goes to the alarm system controller, plug II, pin 9. [Alarm].

Thanks!!! So based on what you've posted apparently there is no dimmer function nor is the last pin for the alarm used on an aftermarket radio. So theoretically this should work as is?
Hooked everything up and it works great. Thanks for the help!
