Stereo connector question

[The Real Lxxtsy]

I picked up a bluetooth radio and a stereo connector, but from the looks of the stereo connector it's not going to work. I'm not sure where the big block end plugs into and the other two ends the plug into the factory wiring are wired into it the big block. I haven't gone back to the store to see if I can find the two ends that plug into the factory wiring that I can wire into the radio harness. Suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

I think that's a universal adapter, the small connectors are for the old radios and the big one is for newer Jeeps. Just leave the big connector tucked away behind the radio and use the two smaller ones. The wires on the left in your picture are what you connect to the new radio, I guess that part is obvious.

All of the wiring on the left along with the small connectors are wired into the big connector, unless I'm missing something and having a brain fart

This is what I need to get, if the universal one does not work out

The power wire is connected to both the big connector and the small connector just like all the speakers. Once you connect it to the radio you could put the radio in either a new Jeep or an old one. In the new Jeep you would simply plug in the big connector, in the old Jeep like yours you would plug in the small ones. Both connectors will work but in your specific case the big connector will just hang there unused.

The other one you posted will work too if you like that better. Not to mention it already has half the crimp work already done.

Have Crutchfield make you a wiring harness - they do it for really cheap and it’s vehicle/stereo specific!

Yeah, that's a universal. You would wire your head unit harness into the wires on that adapter, and then use whichever end works for your Jeep. My '03 would use the single large connector, older ones use the two smaller.

Thanks guys, I'll wire it up and go from there.
