kingpreetham....i just tried searching for your stereo and i think you might have gotten the numbers mixed up...

Heres a tip, first off which should make things a little easier-

Take your new alpine headunit and wire up the wiring harness to it on your workbench or something, then once everything is wired together and youve identified all your leads you can plug it right in your car to that plug that used to go into your factory stereo. This will make the wiring process alot easier for you.

Now to answer the first question-

1.) The rounded slots you were talking about are RCA jacks...if you read the Alpine manual there should be(as far as i know) RCA jack inputs and outputs for things labeled "subwoofer out", "front", "back", "CD changer"...etc....look for those and you might see a red and white (or right and left) set of RCA jacks for the front and back audio inputs. If you see them, thats what the 4 RCA plugs of the wiring harness go into. If not, then you might have to take off the RCA plug on the end of the wire and wire it to the proper front or left input on the stereo. Just be sure to identify every wire on the wiring harness to its correspondng wire on the back of the stereo by using the manual that came with your new headunit. Just take your time and you'll get it.

Question 2-

2.) There should have been a metal mounting bracket that slides around the stereo....you dont need it to put your stereo in. And theres a set of metal tabs on the sides of the stereo where that metal bracket clicks onto to secure it......you dont need them either. That is what gets in teh way of the dash, so just unscrew the metal tabs off the sides of the stereo and you maight have to remove the faceplate trim like i had to. Then your dash should go right back into place with nothng in the way.

If you need anymore help with anything just lemme know.
