I am upgrading the original 6 disc changer to a double din in a 2006 TJ and most of the wires connected between the new unit harness and the recommended adapter. Does anyone know what this second adapter is for? The original unit had Sirius and subwoofer. Is there an adapter for it? Thanks!

That’s the connector that goes to the satellite radio module under the steering column.

Thanks! Do you know if there’s an adapter to reuse it?

I don’t believe so. Most new stereos already have satellite radio built in, you usually just buy the antenna and hook it up.

I believe the factory satellite antenna uses the typical hook up, so theoretically, you should be able to run a longer cable between your factory antenna and your new head unit to retain it.
