It was..this was one of the most confusing parts of the install. The same cable harness you remove from the AMP is the same one you'll put back. The N cable harness you connect to the XM receiver is currently taped to another cable and is currently not connected to anything. Does that answer your question?
Yes it does. Thanks a million for answering all these questions. I went looking for the n-bus cable and in the directions it shows it hooked to the amp bracket. I saw nothing there, but I did see a harness hooked to nothing right behind the dash. So I assumed that was the right one.

I was wondering about all the other parts, especially the ground cable mainly because when I ordered the kit the brackets are on backorder. But, it looks like you could easily get away without using them and simply use 2 sided tape to stick it under the dash, or on the amp bracket. I would assume the harness has ground, but it may be safe to use the ground wire without the brackets just in case it gets a ground from the brackets. This type of mounting would also mean you don't have to take everything apart under the dash.. just the kickpanels to run the antenna wires. Making it much easier!

The antenna question helps because I know which antenna I can get since I don't like the looks of the window mount and they have new micro antennas that I could mount on the roof, and they are magnetic now.

Thanks again!
