Help installing Aftermarket CD player in 89 civic

I have a Jensen CD2010x that I need to install. I Spliced the wires together color for color but that didnt work. I had two wires left over from the car wiring Harness, the Orange/White adn the Light blue. I had one left over from the aftermarket wiring, the dark blue. The Wire color codes for the cd player are...
Red:Ignition
Yellow: Battery B+
Black:Ground
Dark Blue:Power antenna
Gray:Right Front +
Gray/Black:Right Front -
White: Left Front +
White/Black: Left Front -
Violet: RR+
Violet/Black: RR-
Green: LR +
Green/Black: LR-

I found this on another forum:

1988-91 Honda Civic Stereo Information
Constant 12V+ Blue/White
Switched 12V+ Yellow/Red
Ground Black
Illumination Red/Black
Dimmer n/a
Antenna Driver's Pillar
Front Speakers 6 1/2" Doors
Left Front (+) Blue/Green
Left Front (-) Gray/Black
Right Front (+) Red/Green
Right Front (-) Brown/Black
Rear Speakers 6 1/2" Rear Deck
Left Rear (+) Blue/Yellow
Left Rear (-) Gray/White
Right Rear (+) Red/Yellow
Right Rear (-) Brown/White

My question si What colors go to what colors? The Car harness has 13 wires, a Gray, Gray/Black, White, White/Black, Orange/White, Yellow, Red, Light Blue, Black, Green, Green/Black, Violet, Violet/Black. I think the color codes I found on the other forum are wrong. Any help?

It was a bad idea to splice the wires. Use wire harness next time... they will let you finish the job in about 15 minz... if you know what you are doing...

Orange/White = Illumination. AKA DIMMER

Blue=Power Antenna
