Front speakers are blue and white (both left and right) on the cars I've looked at. Ign and battery should be easy to find with a multimeter/test light.

I drew a diagram of the plug while testing, if you got a fax machine i could send it through.

I would assume that all models had the same plug and configuration but these cars are japanese and assumption is the mother...

Best way is multimeter and test light.

To get the accessory wire/battery wire hook up the multimeter to an earth then probe with the car off until you find 12V - that will be the battery wire. Its normally the thickest out of all the wires.

Keep the earth connected then turn the car to on, probe for another 12V wire that isnt the battery wire - once you find it, turn the car off and the multimeter should read 0 volts - this wire is the accessory.

As for the speakers, if you have speakers already plugged in ive seen people just hook two wires up to a 6volt battery and listen for where the crackle noise comes from. Other then doing that, set the multimeter to ohms and test for continuity from wire at the head unit loom to a wire where the speakers are, then you will know where it goes to and of course then you know what speaker it is.
