hooking up a sony CDX4000X

Hey guys I know you guys are not big fans of the sony decks, but i had this same deck in my old firebird and liked it. Besides I got the deck for free from my roommate who's a locksmith and took the cd player when the people didnt want to pay to have there car unlocked. So I got it from him for free hehe

Anyways getting to my point I ordered a 16pin sony wiring harness and I'm trying to hook it up. Can someone post the what old wire I should connect with the new sony deck. Also the 4 analog inputs are only for a sub correct?

Also do you think that a audio shop will have the stereo mounting sleeve for this deck, it has a gap between it and the installation kit. Thanks guys

If its resetting, im assuming you mean the clock, you're losing power while starting the car. Remove the old deck and check the wiring, your 12v constant (yellow) wire is probably not connected.
