Tips for XTRON installation learned the hard way:

1. Yellow - constant 12 Volts: Buy a MINI fuse tap at AutoZone. Use the third fusefuse from bottom left (5AMP). Will post a picture

2. iPhone Contacts sync with Xtron over Bluetooth: You have to go on Settings/Google and disable data sync with your Google account. Then the iPhone will show the option to sync contacts in Settings/Bluetooth/Xtrons (of whatever name you use for the head unit)

3. CP01 dongle for CarPlay: Still does not work with Android 9, despite the new patch Xtrons send me.

4. The antenna wire does not need a 12 V

5. The amp blue wire (female) from the main adapter has to be connected to the blue wire (male) part of the external amp wires. Use the sample principle for the AUX input

6. Do not put the mic close to the dash - Best place to put it=close to the original mic, around the interior reading lights (let me know if you need help removing that panel. I changed original rearview mirror for the one with compas (using retrofit kit) and I know it is a pain to remove.
