First thing you will need to do is to buy a wire adapter for your specific make & year of car. This interfaces the stock wiring plug allowing you to connect the wires from the headunit to the wires of the plug.

Here is a color coding explanation for the wires on your Alpine Deck:

P o w e r Memory (+12v Constant) Yellow Ignition (+12v Switched) Red Ground (-) Black Dimmer Pink/White (Alpine only) Power Antenna Blue Amplifier Turn-on Blue/White Phone Mute Light Blue (Sony only) S p e a k e r s Right Front (+) Gray Right Front (-) Gray/Black Left Front (+) White Left Front (-) White/Black Right Rear (+) Violet Right Rear (-) Violet/Black Left Rear (+) Green Left Rear (-) Green/Black

I am installing a sony cxs-gt09hp in a 2003 f250 and the wires dont match need to know what wires hook together

You should really invest in a $15 wire harness so you do not have to cut the factory plug.
Instructions will be in the package - but in the event you dont have a factory plug due to theft - here is the vehicle's wiring color codes...

Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Light Green/Pink
Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Black/Violet
Car Radio Ground Wire: Black
Car Radio Illumination Wire: Light Blue/Red
Car Stereo Dimmer Wire: N/A
Car Stereo Antenna Trigger: Blue

Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Light Blue/White
Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Orange/Light Green
Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Dark Green
Right Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): White/Light Green

Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Tan/Yellow
Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Gray/Light Blue
Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Brown/Pink
Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Orange/Red

Thanks for using FixYa!!

Kia stereo in a ford ed

hi, first you are better off to purchase a conversion plug from a stereo outlet (so that you arn't cutting the standard plug off)
the colours should be
orange/pink = L/F Speaker
orange/black = L/F Speaker
grey/green = R/F speaker
grey/black = R/F speaker
pink/black = L/R speaker
pink/green = L/R speaker
blue/black = R/R speaker
blue/red= R/R speaker
blue/white = switched wire
black = earth
green/yellow = hot wire
these are ef but should be the same
happy motoring
