Default Removed old Sirus radio but what is this wire for?

Ok so the previous owner of my car had this Sirius radio installed. I got it all out but there is a black box that has the wire to the back of the stock HU and then there was this long as clump of black wires that were plugged into the back of the Sirius receiver where does this connect back to. I didn't see a plug in on the stock HU for this.

This is the black box for reference, the lower smaller gauge wire is the one im asking about.




This is all the wire that was zip tied to the tray back there.




Edit: I am pretty sure this has something to do with the antenna, is there a wire coming from the stock antenna this connects to?

Now that I am looking at it, I think the box maybe some sort of accessory to allow the Sirius module to tap into the antenna and the stock HU. I think the stock antenna wire is plugged into this black box with its antenna wire going into the stock HU with the other wire going to the Sirius box.
