i ask this because of the fact that my avic n1 is already installed and i dont know if the stock wiring is still intact. Would it be the only green/black wire and is the wire mainly green or mainly black.

Yes, it is the only green/black wire going into the stereo (not only one in the car though). Green/black means green wire with black stripe.
