Put your Metra wiring knowledge to the test!

I think it may be faulty. I have mine wired the exact same way. I can get the volume to work, but nothing else. When I do the test, it indicates that the red/gray isn't hooked up, per the flashes, but when I use my ammeter to test, I have continuity from the car side of the wiring harness to the box itself, so its definitely hooked up correctly.

I'm ok with just volume control though, I'm easy, and rarely shift channels or modes.

I have not tried it again (unfortunately, it requires me to pull the HU again - at least just forward a bit) to access the box. I'll try it again this weekend.

At this point, I am pretty sure it's connected properly, but I was not able to get any "long" flashes. l got seven short/quick ones. ---Dunno...

I have the same problem as Mike, only the volume controls work.
