Default Wire Help?

Hi,

I've removed the current aftermarket hu that I had a shop fit a while back (Pioneer Avic X1) and am replacing it with a new Alpine unit... problem is, I'm not sure what all the wires in this area are for.

I've found the C1 10 pin connector, C2 9 pin connector and the C3 10 pin connector, but there are 2 more connectors - 1 connects to the fog light switch, but the other I have no lcue where it went to originally - it has the following 5 wires in it:
Black & White, Brown & White, Purple & White, Pink and then grey. Does anybody know what this should connect to or is for?

Thanks,

I thought the C2 connector (Green Black, Black & White, Brown & White, Grey & White and then silver) was for the cd changer?

In total I have 5 connectors, the C1, C2, C3, plus 1 going to the fascia mounted fog light switch and then this other one with purple and pink etc... am I wrong about the C2 then?

Thanks,

Ooops, sorry. I answered by assumption instead of checking. C2 is for the changer.

I checked the wiring diagram. Those wires are for the traction control switch.
