well dude, im my site i have a tutorial on putting headunits in. Secondly, it the stock harness is in there, then get youself a harness kit and you wont have to worry about colors. If you or someone cut the wires, then theres a easy way to figure out the ground, acc and power. I can't remember color codes for my life, sorry.

Power is usually red, ground is black, and acc is usually either green or yellow.

When I last put in a CD player in my car I believe (always check with a test light) 12V constant from the deck went to orange in the car, the ignition lead went to a yellow wire and I made my own ground. You could use the old ground wire from your last deck though. Get a test light and make sure. It's a good habit to get into.
