There is an adaptor between the factory plug and the stero iso in the pics which you will need, saves chopping up anything you're not sure on. Only a couple of quid off amazon/eBay

hope the above pictures help a bit more, ive got yellow to yellow, blue to red and then red to blue, on the JVC harness this relates back to the yellow to the yellow, the blue to red relates back to the red and the red to blue goes to the blue and white cable
