Red/green is the power for volatile memory systems.
White/purple is for the main power.

Get yourself a bulb, two pieces of wire attach one wire to an earth somewhere then check your wires with ignition off and on to find your permanent live and your ignition live.red and yellow I think then fit which ever wire is needed to your stereo permanent and ignition power.job jobbed
