listen, those are RCA pre-outs, they are to connect to a amplifier.
The harness you need is specific to the radio in your hand.
The diagram on the radio is showing you front/rear outs, antennea, and remote ( if you had the remote for the radio, Sony sells a wired joystick remote for thier radios ), the diagram is also showing you where the fuse goes.
What it DOES NOT show you is where to put your ground,constant power, switched 12v power, illumination, turn on lead for the amps or the power antennea, and the speaker connections, maybe even a dimmer lead for the lights.
In other words, unless you find a Sony radio with the same wiring harness on the back of it, you might as well throw that radio in the garbage. You may be lucky and find one that someone has that no longer works, all you need is the harness that goes in the back of the radio.
I do believe Sony was pretty universal with thier wiring harnesses, so if you keep your eyes out you may find one.

just go to best buy and get a harness for your car and the wires are all basiclly the same.......
red is hot
black is neg
wires that look the same and one has a black line going through it is the speakers
there should also be a yellow and blue. one is remote witch is a really small guage wire the other is bigger and that is ignition.
like i said just get a harness for the car and the radio and start matching wires up. then simply connect the harnesses.
just get a light tester and check wires. if u **** up all you have to do is buy a fuse. so no big deal. just use common sense

the car's wiring itself is a piece of cake, but he has nothing on the
radio to hook it up to.
