First off, im new to this and have no clue what im doing.. if someone takes the time to help me and i get this deck up and running, you will be nicely rewarded.

Ok, the vehicle is a 2008 dodge charger RT and i've found myself in a pickle
Im in the process of attempting to install a Sony Xav-60 Double Din ( not the best i know ) but the old deck was broken and I wanted a quick fix
Now the old deck wasn't stock either so the previous owner connected the harness etc etc ( makes my job easier i guess? )

I need to know what to connect to what ( there are aftermarket interior speakers and an amp )

does it matter if i hook the colors up correctly? or just to the same location on the harness?! ( harness are very similar but not exact in size )
now heres my dilemma, i was hoping the colors would match and this would be very simple, heres a picture
green ones ( car )
colors ( new deck )



and ( from the car )
now theres this, it appears to be a smaller harness, but theres nowhere for me to plug this into my deck, would it also attach to the one shown above? or is it something else entirely ?



and im assuming this is an antenna ? the one with the white thing on the end is hooked up to the car, and the other my deck

you know how to read wiring diagrams right? most of it is just common sense anyway (I'll waylay the jokes for now)
anyway worst case scenario you'll blow a fuse, but this should be enough to get your primary wires in place. worry about the speaker wires after, you can test them out by trial-and-error, again you wont screw anything up. if the speaker sounds like crap, you probably wired it in backwards

2010 Charger owner here

The colors dont have to match up (mine dont)
Make sure you have the correct location or you could ruin it
Dont mess with the smaller harness I believe that is for something entire unrelated (mine isnt hooked up)
