Exclamation After Market Radio Help

Hey guys, Im new to this forum and kinda new to the jeep world.

But today I have encountered a small problem.

I bought a wiring harness for my radio and all wires connect to the factory wiring except my ground.

This is the wiring harness I bought

Problem is I match all those wire colors together but my jeep has an extra adapter (pci connector? )coming from the factory adapters which is the ground..

How will I be able to get power to the radio when all the wires from the aftermarket radio have been connected to the factory adapter?

there should be a ground wire in your dash going to the factory radio, it should have a female spade connector to connect to a male spade connector on the rear of the factory deck.

you want to get a male spade, crimp that on your harness ground and connect it to the factory harness spade.

that's what i did the other day anyways.
