I have no clue. I have only installed Pioneer decks, and one clarion.

Orange is probably a dimmer or something. Don't need it hooked up to anything for the radio to work.

orange is illumination, it tells the radio to dim when the lights are on (if this is a feature of your radio)
if your harness has a blue wire for power antenna don't hook it up.
also some sony's have a connection for "ATT" or mobile phone hands free kits, it mutes the radio when you get a call
