I could be wrong, but those are only for things like amps, tv's, and other stuff like that if you have any installed.

For my headunit (which isnt a touchscreen), I only had a red and white plug I believe, and it was for my stock amps.

Those are for external amps like if you want to add subwoofers to your car...or a 4 channel amplifier for the speakers. The tv out rcas are probably to clone the screen to a TV.

yup any RCA cable on the head unit are for OPTIONAL equipment that is not required to make it function. the cable that detaches from the head unit with the bare wires are the ones to get connected to the factory harness, take it to a stereo shop ( a REAL one NOT BEST BUY!) and they can get it all attached for a small price. tell them what car you have and whether or not you have a mach 460 sound system. they can get the cable and make you a connector that will plug into the factory setup. it usualy costs $20-$40 i did my own but that's because i can solder and i know what the wires go to.

lol make sure the deck has a SWITCH/REMOTE wire (usually blue) otherwise the deck won't play the sound. I had a deck that didn't have one and the speakers didnt work.
