Broken antenna adapter

The piece that plugs into the back on the head unit is worn on the inside probably from unplugging it enough times. The wires unattached themselves on the inside. I need help trying to find the replacement. I've tried searching but not really even sure what to search for.

Here's a picture of what I'm trying to replace...



It seems that I should replace the whole thing but if I can get away with just replacing the one wire that plugs into the box that works too.

I cut the head off thinking I could just replace the head by splicing some wires but realized I might be better off getting a new one.

Any help would be great. Thanks!!

Re: Broken antenna adapter

After crazy searching around, I believe this is a Pioneer cwm4331. Not real sure what it does. It seems that the third wire runs to an antenna amplifier. I wired the antenna straight into my new head unit and nothing but POOR quality radio. When I plug my iPod in, it sounds perfect. Am I going to be unable to run the antenna straight into the stereo and need to replace this piece?

I also found a pioneer wire t-spliced into the battery wire and a pioneer wire t-spliced into the ignition wire. Both have their own fuses on the wires...

As far as I know, everything is stock speaker wise. There definitely aren't any subs. Never noticed any of this when I installed the first head unit 3 years ago.
