2012 receiver harness location? (w/sync)

I assume it's this giant mess of spaghetti on the passenger side that's covered in "made in China" stickers, right?

Pictures: (I apologize for my phone's terrible camera)





I just want to make sure I'm not tapping into my air-bag or something else important.

Also the colors with orange purple/orange, green/orange, etc, are the positives and the corresponding white ones are the negatives, right? The colors on the signal wires that I'm connecting to my amp's LOC are white/black, white, purple/black, purple, green/black, green, grey/black, and grey.

I'm just trying to tap in to the speakers and run the signal into my amp's built-in LOC. Is that the right harness of wires for the speakers?

same as 2011 Fiesta and Focus?

I've read in several places that the 2012 Focus shares the same audio specs as the 2011 Fiesta. I've found some wiring harness color info for the 2011 Fiesta:

I noticed that it was nearly the same as the 2011 Focus, does that sound right? [dunno]

A million thanks! How do I tell the difference between LF- and RR+ if they're both white and brown?

I finally had a chance to work on my car and can confirm that those are the correct colors. Here's the associated pin #'s:

24: LR- brown w/yellow stripe
25: LR+ brown w/green stripe
26: RF- white w/orange stripe
27: RF+ white w/purple stripe

36: LF+ white
37: LF- white w/brown stripe
38: RR+ brown w/white stripe
39: RR- brown w/blue stripe

They are all clustered together in the bottom center section.

i am new to the site I have a question where would I find the remote wire on the 2012 focus factory stereo to connect an after market power amp
I found a good thread in this section that had all of the wiring spelled out for 2012 -- I think it called out the Fiesta and Focus -- and had the power antenna wire in the listing.

Would the tail lights be too much juice? I'd be a little leary to run that into my new amp! But what do I know... [confused]
