either way if you plug the wrong one in youll know about it without much problem.
if they are the wrong way around your head unit wont keep the clock time saved and will turn off completely when the ignition is off. if it doesnt then you have them around the right way!

Took me half an hour to find but here it is:

From the car
Accesories - Yellow
Constant - Orange
Illumination - Grey
Earth - Black/White
12V OUTPUT - Pink

Speakers

Front Left (+) - Tan
Front Right (+) - Light green

Rear Left (+) - Dark Brown
Rear Right (+) - Dark blue

I'll see if I can get this added to my pinned list because it's damned useful!

tad harsh mate. i gave reasonable advice considering its not something most people know off the top of their head....

[bangers]

for some dumb reason the colours are reversed. connect orange to yellow and yellow to orange.

haha sorry man, wasn't referring to you at all..

alcohol and reading forums that have bulk useless posts is only trouble.

[vlv8vic]

ha true mate true..... i hadnt started drinking yet.... maybe i should have.

[VS Omega]

vlv8vic's advice is good though, the wiring thing was hidden in another message board completely lol, anyhow we're all cool now so it's all good
