Default Parts needed for aftermarket radio install

Just want to make sure I have all I need for my radio install. This is going into a non infinity system.

Wiring harness, 70-6522
Single din dash kit, 99-6511
Antenna adapter, 40-EU10

That's it?

Thanks. I'll be putting in my old jvc kd-avx44 headunit. Took it out of my old ride before I traded it in.

So my question is if all you need is 70-6522 a 15 dollarish wiring harness. What is the point of the 130 dollar PAC one on crutchfield. This is where I have been getting confused.

For instance my JK is a 2010 if I replace the H/U with this harnees

compared to

I'm I loosing anything really. From my understanding the PAC is to keep your steering wheel controls and ect. to work. Which our jeeps dont have. So is the 130 dollar adapter necessary.

I believe the PAC allows you to retain the controls on the steering wheel for HUs that support them? I think that is what I have read...

It does not do steering controls. It has a connector to attach the SWI Jack module and that will receive input from your buttons and control your HU.

I'm not sure but if you aren't using factory navigation and other fancy upgrades I really don't think the PAC chr something something does anything for you other than being an incredibly expensive wiring harness. It interfaces with the CAN-bus so your backup camera knows when you're in reverse. Stuff like that.
