Yes, that is the adapter I used. I soldered it to the harness for my new stereo.
Assuming you are installing a single din radio, yes it appears that bezel will work for you. Yes you will need the antenna adapter too. I installed a double din unit in my 06 coupe earlier this year

If memory serves I needed to use the speaker output wires of the harness in my 04 to drive the factory amp. Not best sound but works until I go with aftermarket amp. I also installed a double-din which requires a different bezel, got mine from Double-D mods. The double-din audio unit is not easy to install because of some cutting in the dash and also fabrication of custom mounting brackets but it looks great and I think it is worth the effort.

I also used the Double Din mods bezel for my Pioneer AVIC-8100 install. Cutting the dash frame really stunk, but it was worth it!

I just installed a pioneer flip up DVD single din receiver in my 05 about two weeks ago. You have the correct parts. Install is pretty straight forward. Make sure to connect your blue amp turn on wires to turn on factory amp. If I recall, it’s solid blue on the metra side of the harness, and blue with white stripe on the radio side of the harness. I ordered all my parts from Amazon if you want to save a couple of bucks…

Aftermarket Stereo question: If i wanted to install an aftermarket headunit in my Gen3, it is as simple as using a receiver wiring harness, wiring that to the one with the new deck, and installing? i’ve read that the Metra 70-6502 Receiver Wiring Harness, and corresponding dash kit is what I need. So i just need the wiring diagram, and to solder the proper wires from the deck harness to the Metra, and install? anyone with an aftermarket deck, any advice is welcome.

so far I think I need:
