Sony headunit wiring help

I just got a headunit from my cousin that he had in his truck awhile ago, the wiring harness is here but some of the wires are not marked.
It is a sony cdx-c780, is it any good?

On the wiring harness there is a black wire unmarked
a orange and yellow wire unmarked but hooked together, i'm assuming those are power?
a red wire unmarked
a blue wire with a white stripe marked amp rem max 0.3A and a dark blue wire marked ant rem max 0.1A, what does all that mean?
also I'm guessing the light blue wire marked att is antenna? if so how do I hook it up to the stock antenna wire?

thanks to anyone who can help even the least bit.

Black - Ground
Red- 12v Switched
Yellow - 12v Constant
Orange - Illumination...no need to hook this up unless your truck-side wiring harness has it as well. hooking it to constant just keeps the lights on the head unit constantly dimmed.
Blue/white - amp turn on. No need to connect if there is no aftermarket amps.
Blue - power antenna. You dont have a power antenna, so nothing to hook it up to

Nice.
I really wasn't expecting anything on this one. Thanks so much.
Is the wire marked ATT for the antenna then?
