12Volt batt/Memory YELLOW

Ground BLACK*

Power Antenna BLUE

Amp turn-on BLUE/WHITE

Power mute BROWN

Right front + Gray

Right front - Gray/black

Left front + White

Left front - White/Black

Right rear + Violet

Right rear -Violet/black

Left rear + green

Left rear - green/black

Here are the wire codes on the diagram for the head unit. which i'm not sure sure where to put these on the wire code above? I was told by a specialist that this cord will work but these last six aren't list on the above diagram. help please.

Key1, --- probably not needed

key 2, ---probably not needed

parking break ---will need to go to ground or switch, depending on unit (I would try to ground first...) *SHOULD* be connected to parking brake switch so you cant watch video while driving

reverse gear - ---hook to reverse light, to trigger backup camera (if you dont have a backup camera, doesnt need to be connected)

Permaneht 12 volts + ---- goes to 12v battery/memory YELLOW

12v acc --- goes to 12v ign/acc RED

Unit can probably have a gps option, so they add it to outside chassis...
