^^ Without a picture of the device, I can only guess. My guess it is either a Sirius/XM satellite tuner or a Clarion external amplifier.

Open your photo with any graphics program and resave it (“Save As” so as not to overwrite the original) in a smaller format that allows posting.

^^ That is the OEM antenna amplifier. The Z's antenna is powered (it has a built-in amplifier).

The picture you posted is the Clarion OEM antenna amplifier. The only function of this device is to increase gain on the antenna. The radio in the H/U won’t work if you disconnect this part (what you show in your picture).

This amplifier is not an external amp that delivers power to your car’s speakers.

The problem you describe…

…has nothing to do with this part. Your problem with the CD player is a known fault in the OEM Clarion H/U, and it’s best fixed by replacing the H/U.
