2012 Honda Civic aftermarket radio installation

Does anyone have an accurate wiring diagram for the 2012 Honda Civic LX? I'm getting frustrated trying to find one. I want to make sure it is 100% correct before soldering the wires. I was going off of pin hole diagrams instead of the color, because the colors were not correct. I found a diagram, but it doesn't seem to be correct, either. It has things in pin holes that mine does not have anything in.

Did you not buy the adapter harness?

No, the radio came with the one for that, and I am keeping the factory one in the car. That is why I am going off of pin holes and not colors. So, if you have somewhere I can find the diagram it would be much appreciated. Thank you

No there's a harness that directly plugs into the factory connector that you then solder/crimp connectors to the harness that came with the stereo. That way you don't have to hack the factory wiring and can easily return to stock. It's like $20, probably less if you're in the states.

I already have the factory one AND the stereo one. What I am saying is that I don't know which wire should be soldered to which wire. I NEED a CORRECT diagram for a 2012 Honda Civic LX. That's it. So let me know if you know where to find one. The ones that came with the stereo are labeled correctly, whereas my stupid factory ones are not labeled. I suppose I could buy a brand new one. If it is labeled for me that would make it incredibly easy.

Re: 2012 Honda Civic aftermarket radio installation

Ok sorry didn't realize you had the adapter harness. Your post made it sound like you didn't.
You only need 7 wires to run the stereo, red, yellow, black, and the 4 pairs for the speakers (purple, green, grey, and white)
Orange is illumination which we typically don't recommend connecting
There's a blue and white which is for a a sub or a powered antenna, again not typically used.
What wires are you stuck on?
