Where is the rest of the harness i.e the plug it has on the end of it that plugs into the OEM radio. You are best to just buy the wiring harness that it needs and the wires will match up very easy then vs cutting off the OEM harness and trying to figure things out. Those harnesses are not all that expensive 5-15 bucks and worth every penny.

when i got the car it didnt have a harness or a head unit in the car and it seemed like most wires were missing or cut somewhere that i cant see besides the ones in the picture, tried finding a wiring diagram for it but none of them match, im sure its a 14 pin but there are only 8 wires even after searching for a bit.
 
Yeah someone did a hack and cut job instead of spending the few bucks and doing it right then.

See if you can take the part numbers here from Scoshe and get them in your country or something like it. As what you need is a factory replacement harness then a harness that plugs into that from your aftermarket radio.


This search on eBay should help as well with some part numbers. Then as I said you reconnect the oem style harness to the wires as they should match up then. Then buy said other harness that plugs into it so you can just match up the wire colors to the harness coming out of the aftermarket radio.

Use this as a testing guide:

It seems you are missing the harness for the rear speakers. It should be in there somewhere, or those other blue wires poking out the bottom might be their replacements. Use a multimeter to determine if this pinout is correct.
