Battery WHITE/ yellow
Switched WHITE/ red
Do you have a multimeter? Find the speaker wires and you will have only a few wires left. Check both of the radio fuses before using the meter to find constant and switched wires.

8 x speaker wires.
1 X 12V+ constant.
1 X 12V+ ACC.
1 X 12V+ ILLUMINATION.
1 X Antenna switched by head unit.*
1 X GROUND.
*To verify antenna, use a test light with an incandescent bulb, feed 12V+ to one side, other to suspect wire. If correct it will raise the antenna and DOI NO HARM if connected to a wrong wire.
N.B. If there's another wire that might be speed pulse for NAV (optional) though I believe this vehicle is too early.
PS to ascertain speaker wires find the other wires first; then with your 12 volt constant and ground wires you can find your speaker wires. You've got to work out phasing then note look under the rear shelf at the back of the speakers, that will give you left and right rear or 4 of the 8. The terminal on the right side is the + terminal.

RED / Black is illumination. Remove RED / black from the equation and how many wires are not used? What colors are they?
