you should have 13 wires 8 of them will be your speaker wires so there will be 4 pairs that are the same colour, the others will be red, yellow, black, blue, and orange i think
red = live
yellow = live
black or brown = earth
blue antenna
orange illumination

the easiest way would be go down to the local scrappy and cut out the block connector from that and rewire it to yours if you have a solderer use that, then go to halfords get the block connector for your stereo then plug it in, you may also have to swap the red/yellow wires around so u get red to yellow and yellow to red

hope this helps
