Green, White, Purple, Grey = all are speakers (i dont remember which is which)
Orange =alumination (for stuff like underglow pulses and other RICE crap lol)
Pink = Remote (alpine acessory)

some brands have different special wires.. (orange and pink for my Alpine HU) and are not really needed.

if it's the ford harness you need, next time i head out to my gf's parent's place (stang being stored.. which is another story...) i'll pull the HU and have a look. mine's all directly wired in so i can tell you which are for power/ingition
Right.. thanx, that's basic wire code for headunits... The wires that come out of the power/ignition harness from the car is the ones I was wondering about.

ok. yea i wasn't too sure if you wanted the HU wires or the car wires. best way to check is to geab a test light. the constant will be constant lol and the ignition will only be on when you have the key in the acc or on position.
but if you dont have a test light i think i'm headin to the gf's parent's place tonight for the canucks game so if i'm not too drunk i'll have a quick look for yea. just pull it, look, and write it down for ya

I'm looking forward to adding some more components to the car once I pay off some body work. I hate having this as my only ride in the winter.. rear wheel drive and 2 ft. of snow sucks sometimes.

Haha, k... I know that.. It's all hooked up already. But there are 4-5 other wires in that harness that are cut and those are the ones I'm talking about. Sorry for all the confusion. They probably don't even matter anyway, but it looks like they were suppost to be hooked up to factory components in the car which is why I was concerned. They are probably just Antenna, and rear speakers because my rears were rewired with 16ga wire.

I have 2 sets of RCA's that I'm going to run to my 4 channel Rockford 900 for the speakers anyway.
