Who is yelling?
Rear wires are green and violet, left and right.
Both are have the same black negative wire as I have read.
Life would be made easier with splicing in a factory plug harness.
I bought a Scosche VW01B for cheap but it only has two plugs so unless you get creative it's not as plug as play as it should be.
The one I bought years ago which has 3 plugs I picked up at some radio specialist store, I have no idea what brand it was or if it even mentioned it.
Bit expensive but the one crutchfield sells would do the trick.

In order to plug and play you would also have to purchase the reverse harness to replace the factory brown, black and red connectors.

Oh I'm sorry guysss, my bad on the caps 
thanks for all the replies though!
Anyways, "varia" I've already found that diagram but my wires just aren't that color though I have the 2 white ones connected to my decks antenna amp, the ground to the ground, and the red/blue to my constant on the deck... i have one wire left, check out this pic, the gray/blue one.
Btw right now my deck turns on, well it makes a little buzz and sounds like its ALIVEE, but the screen doesn't show anything, doesn't light up... takes CD's in n out though

The two white ones are hard to make out in the pic, it looks like a white band, I've just connected both of them to my antenna amp, which i feel is not right??
