That's good - it's safe to plug into your tuner, then (you may need to add a 3.5mm stereo jack).

These are all smaller than the Sony, though your 'Preset' button might work as 'Forward track'.
From here, all I can suggest is to see if you can replace the factory resistors with what you need, or to look for a third-party adaptor for your vehicle - or convince a (competent) friend to make you one.
