Need help with alarm port wires on 1991 535i (archive)

I bought a Crimeguard alarm to install on my 1991 535i a while back and got a little flustered trying to find all of the wires to tap into. Now I've decided to stay with it until I've figured it out and installed it. However, I need some help.

My car has the factory alarm port under the rear seat next to the battery. Using a wiring schematic from a Mitchell manual, I've identified about half of the wires at that port. I could use some help with the others. I have listed all of the wire colors and the ones I know the function of below. If anyone can fill in the blanks, I would really appreciate it. Once I get this install done, I plan on posting the instructions to make this operation a lot easier for the next group attempting it.

Regards,

Robert J. Kieffer
