Ok I tried to avoid asking because I can feel the newb and search button comments coming. Want you all to know I abused that search button and nothing that answers my questions. Through searching ive figured out over half the wiring to the stereo. Can anybody tell me where the rest of these wires go. And before you ask, not using factory speakers or factory amp. I will run all new wires. Heres pic to help u help me.

That last pic I got was the wire harness from metra, 70-8112. Dont look like the right one. Far less wires.

i have the same harness, just connect the same colors to the back of the radio, you will have some extra ones, dont worry, it will work fine

just make sure you match all the colors to the radio
forget about the key ones

If you don't know where GND goes...you should let a professional do it.

Know where groung goes, just confused because it has 2 grounds. I did some testing and found out where the ground goes and the yellow wire and the red wire that says acc. If I dont need to connect the illumination wire and the brown wire that says back, I think I might have it

I have the same plug, but did not use the RCA cables from the plug, run your RCA cables from the back of your head unit to your amp and only use red to red yellow to yellow blue on blue, connect the ground wire to the body of the car.
Once you're done with that, you'll need to bypass some of the amp and cd changer wires in your trunk, so your front and rear stock speakers to work again that's where you'll need a diagram to see which wires to bridge!!

If you're ditching the factory amp and speakers the only thing you'll need to connect is the yellow wire (12v constant), red wire (accessory), and the black wire (ground). Those 3 wires are all you need to turn on the head unit.

If you need to know the assigned function each wire carries, refer to this thread:

Yeah thats exactly what im doing. I was thinking because im running speaker wire from the back of the stereo to the speakers why do I need to bypass anything. Cant I just pull the factory amp and cd changer out?

You can rip everything out without bypassing it. Just connect the 3 wires I mentioned above to power the headunit, and then the 8 speaker wires (i think they're normally green, purple, white, gray, and then the same colors with a black stripe) to the individual speakers.

You can rip the stock sub out too because it won't work anymore.

If you rip everything out, you'll have to run wires to each speaker or to the amp.

If you rip everything out and bridge the speaker wires in the trunk, since they're already there and you're good to go, but to each his own

Thats the route im gonna go, rip everything but the factory speaker wire. I wanna thank everyone for the help, I ask all the shops around here for a quote just to do the head unit and all wanted 80 a hour minimum 2 1/2 labor thats just to wire the HU. You guys are saving my *** and my wallet.
