Radio wiring puzzle

Trying to connect my new Sony radio / CD. Anybody has a diagramm so I plug the right wire without blowing it. I pluged a few wires, but it does not keep the memory.

Thanks,

How much did you pay for it? I was thinking of getting one for my rig.

The yellow wire on your deck should be connected to a constant twelve volts. The red to an accessory 12 volts.

don't all new head units have an inline fuse already mounted on the 'constant hot' wire?

if you still have your factory harness plug in the dash, just get a $15-$20 adapter harness - no cut wires. should be readily available at big box stores - or wherever you got the sony.

i'll bet the email answered your questions, though.
