Default Installing Aftermarket Deck

Hey guys, just picked up a Sony Xplod stereo deck (I know, I know people say Sony isn't that good) but I got it for free off a friend of mine.

I pulled the stock deck out to see what I am working with, but does anyone know what I'm gonna need in terms of installation kit/wiring? Do I need to tap into a power source?

I read somewhere that you can get most (if not all) the materials you need from Walmart, but what am I looking for specifically?

Thanks!!

For got to mention - It DOES NOT have the infinity system (if this matters).

You can get a faceplate, and the wiring pigtail from walmart. Just look for your year of truck on the box. Plug the pigtail into the trucks connectors, then just color match the wires from your headunit to the pigtail.

You will also need an antenna adapter.
