Default Head Unit Replacement Help

Hi everyone, I'm trying to replace the stock head unit (of a 96 318ti) with something new.

I'm having trouble wiring things up as I am unassure of what colours connect to what. I've googled but have yet to find anything.

For my stock 6 speaker set up i had these coloured wires connected to the head unit:

blue
blue/black
yellow
yellow/black
black
pink (i think)
gray
brown (i think)
red
green
green/black
white
white/black

I was hoping someone here would know what these wires correspond to.

Edit: Not sure if this thread should go in Wiring, if so, can someone please move it.

Hey, You need to plug thoes back in to the original plug and go to wal mart and get a wireing harness for you specific vehicle.

Scoche makes a decent product now adays.

Let me know if this helps. =D thoes wires will be color coded.

Not having a Wal-Mart is not necessarily a bad thing. LOL

I've managed to connect my head unit up.

For anyone who runs into the same problem in the future; I followed these instructions and then worked out which speaker wires were which myself one by one.
