Default Replacement Head Unit---Power Plug??

Anyone familiar with an extra wiring harness that has to be purchased to replace the head unit? Crutchfield says that I need one of these ($129.00) to replace the unit....this is what they say--

PAC's C2R-CHY2 radio replacement interface lets you replace the factory radio in select 2007-up Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles, without losing the accessory output and other signals. It also allows the new receiver to turn on the factory amplifier, if present. Warranty: 1 year.

Q: What do I need to purchase to upgrade my stock stereo to an aftermarket stereo?
A: Do you have the Infinity upgraded system? If yes, then you'll want to buy a Metra CTHO-03 harness. If no, then you'll want to buy a Metra XSVI-6522 harness. Typically, the three things you need to upgrade your stock stereo is the harness, antenna adapter, and dash installation kit.
you can find the metras on ebay i believe.

I got the pac harness from crutchfield a few weeks ago. I got 50% off with the purchase of a Head unit, maybe they still have the deal going on.
