quick wire check

I got a Spny HU. before anybody says anything, I know sony isn't the greatest, but I satill have my ecplise that works, and i got this sony for $27, and it has twice the features. I've never wired up a sony before, and i was upset to find that none of the wires are labeled. after color matching the wires on the metra harness adapter and the sony harnees, i have a couple wires left over.

on the metra harness, the orange "illumination" wire, the orange/white stripe "positive dimmer", and the blue "power antenna" wires are left without matching colors on the sony harness.

on the sony harness, i have a baby-blue wire with a tag that say simply "ATT" on it, a blue/white stripe with a tag that says "amp rem max 0.3A", and a blu one with a tag that says "ant rem max 0.1A".

WTF do these leftovers go with? as i see it i need a wire for the lighting, (unless thais thing is always lit up), and maye a remote wire? any help would be great. it's going into an 82 trans am, and I'm gonna put in an alpine V12 expert for 2 audiobahn 10", and a kenwood 300x4 for the 4 jvc speakers already installed. i'm using qucik dosconnects so i can take this out later, but any help would be awesome. thanks guys!!!

The "ATT" is a mute function for a hands free kit. The "amp rem" wire is the remote turn-on wire for any aftermarket amps,processors,eqs,etc. The "ant rem" is used to feed the power antenna.
