Actually it is the amp bypass (in pieces), but I believe one of the connectors is wrong. I don't think it is the correct amp bypass that one gets from Crutchfield. That looks more like the one I used and bought from Best Buy that I spliced my own contraption.

If you don't want to by-pass the amp (which i'm not going to do, becuase I think people are full of [censored])
Wait a minute. You are confusing me and I'm the one that knows how important it is to bypass the factory amp. You think that the people telling you t obypass the amp are giving you BS? It isn't. Every single person that comes on here that we suggest bypassing their factory amp after having a local shop install their aftermarket head unit has come back thanking us, telling how much better it is. Even the reluctant ones eventually do it out of curiosity mostly, but are glad in the end. I have yet to see one post saying that they did not notice a different with the amp bypass being theonly change to their system. This is on the Contour Perium system, not any other Ford Factory system.
I wasn't looking for advice on how to wire it up. My Contour stereo was modified over 2 years ago, and the car sold in February. I don't have the adapter in question, just ran across it and thought it might be a cheaper alternative to Crutchfield.
