It's a mark3 gti

so just wondering what the following wires color coordination is.

Im assuming that you need to know which wires in the car match the 12v power and accesories wires on the deck loom? Not sure on colour but really the only way to know for sure is with a multimeter. That way you can see which has permanent power and which has the accesories power and connect the right one.... I think yellow on the deck normally goes to permanent power and red is accessories....
