Yep. Black to black. Color to color. Nothing else needed. If the isn't a match to the wire in the PAC harness, then just cap I off and don't use it. No need to run wires to anything other than from the radio to the blue PAC box. Then plug in the PAC harness to the little blue box and the grey plugs to the Jeep plug. And the little black Pioneer plug to the radio. Don't forget to runnable mic and don't forget to set the dial on the side of the box to the setting for Pioneer. And plug in the little 3.5mm jack from the PAC harness into the"REM" female jack location for the steering wheel controls.
As for the front to back? White goes to green. White blk goes to green blk. Grey goes to purple. Grey blk goes to purple blk. Greens and purples from the radio would then be called off and not used. And whites and Greta from the PAC would be called off and not used. This will not allow you to fade music front to back, but that is a limitation of the factory amp. Not the Pioneer. Nothing can control the fade of the factory amp except the factory radio.

It's perfectly fine, you have no idea how helpful this is. Few more questions though, wheres the dial that has to be set to pioneer (inside the blue box?), and what do I do with the white 11-pin plug that doesnt go into the blue box and is labled "connect to radio, Specific SWC interface, Program for Version #2".
Anddd another thing, you said:
The colors you listed, is that going from the PAC to the radio or the radio to the PAC? for example when you say "white goes to green" is that "white (PAC)---->green(radio)" or opposite? Sorry that I'm so slow. And Im guessing your phone autocorrected "green" to "Greta", but you said the greens wouldnt be used, so I'm not sure.

The wires listed are from the radio. To the PAC.
And the 11 pin plug is supposed to plug into the Swi-ps. But, obviously you don't have that. So disregard the version two part and the little radio selector would have been on the swips. Not on the c2rchy4. Sorry for the confusion. I assumed you had the swips box as well.

Sadly it didn't even turn on, ontop of that the antenna adapter barely plugs in. I guess I need to check my red wires?
My constant (yellow) wires are getting power now, and it turned on. But then I disconnected the battery to install it, plugged it back up, and now its not working again. My constant is always getting power but my red wire isn't even when the key is turned. Shouldn't it be turning on though because my yellow wire is hot?
EDIT: okay I figured out sorta what the problem is. My blue PAC box must be messed up somehow because depending on what position its in and how I move it, the red wire goes from powered to not powered. I don't think any of the cords are loose, so maybe its something to do with the board inside the box? Also now that its on, I hooked up my pandora app and it says its playing on the head unit but no noise is coming out of my speakers.

And what adapter for the antenna did you get? If is the metra 40-cr30 or 40-cr10 that's the wrong adapter. You need the 40-eu10
