I pulled an alarm off of a Subaru today, and have a few questions about which wires go where

Here is one side of the box:

I know that the orange plug is for the shock sensor. I know that the red wires on the big plug are power the black is ground and the brown is the +siren. On the little plug on the left I know that the orange is output for starter kill and the yellow is ignition input. I dont know what the gray, blue, green or purple wires are for.

On the other side of the box I know what All of the wires are for:

They Blue and green ones are for power locks, the RED / black for led output, the black and black w/ white strip is for a valet switch.

Can someone please help by identifying what they think the wires that I dont know might be.

What is the alarm itself say on the label ? is there an FCC ID number on it ? The wires could be anything..not every unit has standardized wire colors..

It is no name brand, I got it installed, and just didnt connect the ones i didnt know, but I am going to test the wires with a volt meter soon.

That looks as if its an autopage alarm.. i just installed an rs-855lcd yesterday and that looks like the module for it.. just with less wires...
