are all stock radio harness the same?

mines not matching up with the wires in the FAQ. thanks

What are the wire colors for adding aftermarket radio
LTBlue/Red= 12v+
LtBlue/White= +Accessory
LtBlue/Yellow= -power ant trigger
Red/Black=+ Lumination
White=Factory Amp Turn on. can the accord factory amp ground wire power this? and does this turn on all amps?dont have this wire...

Ground to the body, use the 10mm bolt behind the center console front drivers access panel. Do not use the Red/Black as ground it will damage the interior light circuit and dimmer in the car

which is + and -? im assuming the second wires

Front Speakers (maximum of a 15 watt peak from the radio):
LtGreen/Red= Left
LtGreen/Black= Left

LtGreen= Right
LtGreen/Yellow=Right

Rear Speakers (if applicable, if you have the amplified rear speakers again the Maximum of 15 watts peak is all the stock speaker amp input can handle):
Brown= Left rear
Brown/White= Left Rear

LtBlue= Right Rear
LtBlue/Orange=Right Rear

Also these wires are not shown here,
blue with black stripe, there are two on each stock car harness.
there is another blue/white stripe on the smaller harness.
brown with red stripe on bigger harness.
no white wires.

what are theses wires?

been searching and still didnt come up with anything. im starting to think my car is special or something. i hooked everything up (to the stock harness, its still uncut, i got an adapter) i did not hook up any white wires to power amps but for some reason the dash and rear speakers work and the door speakers dont work.

i thought all factory amps power up with one wire? if so why does everything work except for the door?

everything is stock on my car.

Mine had a special 6 pin connector for the in door amplified speakers, your best bet is just to bypass it, look under your dash and youll find a clarion box that has a white/gray wired connector hooked up to a green wired connector, thats straight to the door speakers. I have an S4 GXL with 6 speakers.

so you are saying everything worked for you except the door speakers too? did you only have to rig up the door speakers? did you power any amps?

ok so after a couple of days of looking for the door amp, ive concluded it is not under the driver side dash speaker. i traced the dash speaker wires into a bundle of wires leading to the main harness. i still cant figure out why all my others speaker work except my door speaker.... can one disconnected speaker side affect the other speaker? can there ne another location for this amp? thanks

nvm, i figured it out, it was on the passenger side for auto seats. the thing that bugs me is that i dont know why people alwasy talk about running new wires. when you take out the amp, the input and out puts are the same fitment, just pulg them up for activations.
