^^^What he said....and you don't need to check too much, it's all been standardized....it's the same for every car now. Yellow is constant power, Red goes to ignition, Black is ground, Orange is dimmer, Dark Blue is the power antenna, and any colors that are paired are obviously speaker wires.
its true, aftermarket stuff has been all standardized as far as coloring.
however, stock wires are most definitely colored, and its different for every car, nearly. like on late model chevvy, they dont even have ignition, they have data bus. just to make it harder to install an aftermarket radio. and data bus is red
but thats jsut one example. its even true for civics, check it out. ignition is black wiht a red stripe, but on the 6th gen, ignition is black with a blue stripe. every car can be just a little different!
