WHITE/ brown, YELLOW /GREEN, yellow/red (illumination?), GREEN/ YELLOW, WHITE/ green, BROWN / black and 2 additional black wires.

thanks for any help.

Hi rich, of all the wire colors you mentioned, I could only find info on these:

WHITE/ Green RF+
WHITE/ Brown RF(-)
(RED / Yellow Illumination)

If you can't find a listing for the colors you have, here are a couple of things you can do to determine what each of them are.

If you still have the factory unit and it's some kind of working order and is able to connect to the factory harness, use your meter to find accessory, constant 12V+, power antenna, amp remote, and ground, Then unplug the harness, apply 12V+ to the remote lead and with an analog meter or small battery (9V or smaller) measure each of the remaining leads in pairs to find your speaker leads.

If you can't connect the factory stereo to the harness in the vehicle to do as above, first measure for 12V+ with the key in the off and on positions to determine constant and switched 12V. Next measure each of the remaining leads with the parking lamps on to find the illumination lead. Next look at the rear speakers and compare all leads to the ones remaining up front. Look for wires that are the same color on each of them and measure each with your meter. After you've determined which of these is the remote lead, power it up and with an analog meter or small battery (9V or smaller) measure each of the remaining leads in pairs to find each set of speaker leads. Next measure each of the remaining leads for resistance to ground. With a 2 amp fuse, connect 12V+ to the lead showing the highest resistance to ground if any difference is noticeable or the ground wire (lowest resistance)  is not obvious to find your power antenna lead. If the fuse blows on the first try, you found ground. If the antenna goes up, you found the power antenna lead.

If you don't want to attempt any of the above, another resource to try is the library.  

Let us know how you make out.
