All Harnesses have the Industry standard E.I.A color code

Yellow is for the Memory and is always powered
Red is for the ignition, it becomes powered when you turn on your car
Orange is a dimming feature not always used
Black is the ground.
Blue and Blue with white stripe turns on your power antenna and/or you AMP
The 8 remaining wires are all for your speakers the ones with Black strips are the grounds
The white wire goes to left Front positive on Speaker
The Gray wire goes to the right Front positive on Speaker
The Green Wire connects to the Left Rear positive on Speaker
The Violet Wire Connects to the Right Rear positive on Speaker
If there are RCA wires on this they go to your amp.
Just Connect one wire at a time and you are set.

To bench test a stereo,

Connect the red and the yellow wires to a 12 volt source and ground the black on the negative.
Your radio should turn on.
The last connection is the antenna
All new after-market stereos purchased have the same style antenna input
However some cars come equipped with a differently designed antenna end plug direct from the factory.
Some older stereo use the antenna as a grounding point.
