Default Metra Exxes ASWC install

Per thier website for our cars it says "Connect the Orange/Green wire of the ASWC to pin 14 of the vehicle". I'm a wiring dummy, do they mean the connector from the vehicle, or the connect on the wiring harness from the radio? Probably a stupid question.

Well, I gotta figure where I went wrong...somehow I'm not getting any power/LED. I spliced into the red ignition wire in the radio harness.
