You need to run that in order to tell the amp to energize when the radio is turned on.
'97 986 M490 w/ Nokia Amp. Installing a Continental CD7416UB-OR. Here's the spaghetti mess I've got. P.O. installed an alpine system and gutted 75% of the original harness. Only the lower terminal was left. Unfortunately, The Factory Wire Colors don't seem to be matching up with the Schematics. I'm not sure which wire go to what for the Continental Output harness. There's also nowhere to plug in a Bergville Harness, so I have to do this the hard way. The Factory Wire I'm having trouble finding a home for is the Black/Red one and a factory Light Gray wire from terminal A. The other White Wire activates the Amp. I'm left puzzled.

Corresponding wire color arrangements would help a lot. I hate when people cut up harnesses.
