Do you have a meter and a 9v battery?

The purples, Greys, greens, whites are for speakers on the Sony side. The rest should be power, ground, ignition power and antenna. Those are the ones you need to hook up to the car side.

Brown is always ground. Purple is 12v. You will need a test light to find 12v switched. Not sure on the antenna but I think it orange.
