It seems like you're actually talking about the whole assembly. Although neither of the pictures shows the whole thing, it looks to me like you have:
A two-row narrow connector, looks like it plugs into an Alpine headunit.
A black box, looks like a fuse holder, or could be what people are calling the EMI filter. I'm used to the Alpine EMI filter being much bigger (the big gray lump in the middle of the yellow wire on your CDA-9833, for example).
Loose ends, probably used to go to the connector that plugs into the car's wiring.
A wide single row connector, if it's only about an inch wide then it could be a connector for the Modifry dashboard control interface.
You would of course need to have the DCI module to plug into that connector if you wanted to use it. If you already have your CDA-9833 installed in the car, it might be easier and safer to add the DCI wiring to the wiring harness that you're using now, than to try to wire this one up to a plug. I'd recommend against re-using this harness because it has a fuse on the red wire and nothing on the yellow wire, which doesn't match how the CDA-9833 should be hooked up. There could be other differences as well.

Why didn't the S2k come with a better stereo. My hair gets messed up with the top down. This car has no torque.
Did it work? Must not have been hooked up.

Okay, if there's just the one single-row connector, then it could be anything. It might be the end of a wiring adapter that plugged into the back of a previous owner's head unit. A pretty low-end unit, too -- looks like wires for switched power, unswitched power, ground, power antenna, illumination, and the positive wires only for two speakers -- perhaps using the common ground as the negative wire?
