Which Wire Where??

Q. Hello, I'm replacing my stock stereo in my 1993 Honda Accord with a new one. I can not use the connecter for the old stereo and I have no idea what the different wires are for. Do you know what the different wires control?

Thank you,
Eric

A. There are a number of different configurations, but I think this is the one you have. I'm assuming you don't have the Bose® system.

Wire Color System
White/yellow Memory Power
Yellow/red Power Input
Red/black Illumination Input
Yellow/white Power Antenna
Black Ground
Blue/yellow LR Speaker (+)
Gray/white LR Speaker (-)
Red/yellow RR Speaker (+)
Brown/white RR Speaker (-)
Blue/green LF Speaker (+)
Gray/black LF Speaker (-)
Red/green RF Speaker (+)
