Hard Wire to Lighter

Folks, I am trying to hardwire in my V1 and have access to a couple of sets of wires below the OE radio DIN slot. A post in the archive indicated

"if you want an ignition switched feed than you should tap into the cigarette lighter in the slide out drawer in the front of the vehicle. open the drawer and pull up on the wooden panel which will pop out. then undo the 2 t-20 screws and remove the drawer. gnd is brown, 12v is black/blue."

There is a bundle of three wires that partly meet the specs above and I would like a confirmation before I do anything. There is a brown wire, a red with a Blue stripe, and a green with a brown stripe.

Can one of you knowledgeable folks please confirm that 12v is red/blue, ground is brown and advise what the green/brown is?

I have attached a pic but the color transfer in the pic does not seem accurate. Many thanks in advance. Zal

correct. I used the red/blue for power and brown for ground for my v1 and sirrus hardwire. Follow your light in you ash tray (you will see the only two mentioned above).
