Hi there, does anyone know what are the stuffs I need please? I have ordered everything suggested from aerpro.com except for the last one where I’m confused. It says “vehicle specific usb adaptor” and under it has 3 parts namely “APHYUSB4, APHYUSB6 and APHYUSB8”. The last part is “ Factory Headunit Antenna Adaptor”. Do I need to order this as well? Also I want to install reverse camera. So what model would be best for reverse camera? Any help is much appreciated.

You'll need one of these only if you want to use the car's existing USB port to run Android Auto/Apple Carplay to your Sony HU - otherwise, you can run a USB cable straight from the Sony to somewhere you can plug your phone into.
It's not immediately obvious which one suits your car, as there seem to be different types of USB connections for your car model. You might have to look at the physical USB connections in the car first to figure this out (though again, as previously mentioned, just running a cable straight from the Sony HU will sidestep this problem entirely).
The last part is “ Factory Headunit Antenna Adaptor”. Do I need to order this as well?
Yes, if you want to have radio reception on your Sony HU.
not able to help you directly, but I have the same model HU and given its wireless CP/AA, you realistically don't need USB connectivity to the headunit
Also, if you are in Sydney, going to an actual store (bankstown sound) would be beneficial as the staff are helpful and have swayed me away from incorrect/unnecessary parts.
you could call up their store and ask for guidance to this question though and I'm sure they'd help.
That last part is if you want radio. Looks like your car might have a random radio input plug and this adaptor brings it to the standard connection pin
none of these have any relevance to the RVC, just buy any model and its a standard connection
