2- 12v batt/memory = yellow (theres 2 yellow wires) ??

3- Ground = Black (theres 2 of these as well) ??

4- Power antenna = Blue

5- illumination = orange

6- phone mute = brown

7- right front = +gray/ - gray/black

8-left front = + white/ - white/black

9- right rear = + purple/ -purple/black

10- left rear = +green/ -green/black

11- White with a thick red stripe-???

This is the wiring i got from the sticky

A- Radio 12V pink +

B- Radio Ground black -

C- Radio Ignition red/white +

D- Radio Illumination black/yellow +

E- Left Front Speaker (+/-) green - brown/red +,

F- Right Front Speaker (+/-) purple - blue/red +,

2-A

3-B

4- ???

5-D

6-???

7-F

8-E

9-H

10-G

you got it right, connect the 2 yellows and blacks together. also pull out the blue, brown, and white/red on the harness and you should be gtg

also PLEASE make sure the illumination goes 12v with the parking lights and dosent change voltage with the dimmer switch, this isnt the right illumination wire and it will fry a radio

edit thanks for reading my sticky

so match the orange on the harness with the black/yellow for the illumination? that should work right

yea if black/yellow is a true illumination wire, sometimes illumination and dimmer get mixed up thats why im telling you to test it first

EDIT: the 2 yellows and blacks, if there is 2 wires in the dash connect each to one, otherwise yes wire both to one.

EDIT2: if your wondering too the white/red wire on the harness is the data wire for the CAN-Bus system which none of the neons have
