Dodge Caliber and new radio

[CFR]

Hi!

I bought a new car radio and I try to figure out how to connect this stuff. Before I start to dismantle the entire panel I need to know a few details. Does any of you know what these things are that I have marked with a question mark?

Greetings

Wheres your installation instructions

Did you specify a Caliber when you purchased the stereo? If so, my guess is that all those cables and connectors will make it so you don't have to splice wires. Plug the wires under the dash into one and, plug the other end into the stereo. And, as @Dannydet mentions, check the installation instructions. Chances are, if you google it you'll find a youtube video too.

If I were to take a guess, the black cables are antenna connections, and you are given two options depending on the original head unit. Those would get plugged in to the socket labeled "radio". The 1/4" jack above that is probably for the back cable in the ziploc bag, but i can't see enough of it to determine a possible use. The brown box could be satellite radio? Don't hold me to any of that, though.

If I'm guessing baggies, then I'd guess the one center left is a microphone to pick up your voice for phone calls. Probably route along the windshield trim and clip it to the visor over the steering wheel.

Thanks guys for your answers. The problem is that I do not have a manual. Before I bought it, I asked the dealer if the radio would fit my specific car. When I saw the wiring, I thought it would be fun.
Here is the link to this radio: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bE4JQO2U

Something below is definitely a microphone. But what is this box is true, I have no idea where it is supposed to be: outside or inside? 🤔

scan the qr code with a qr reader, see if it brings you to a web page with help

Ok, I have now working radio without sound. In old radio was only two things connected: antenna and bunch of cables in one slot:

I connected in this same way using this brown box (it's converter or something like that).
Radio works: WiFi, Bluetooth ...)
without sound.

Now I think if is necessary to plug with this:

Problem is that I don't see any other cables to connect all this sockets.

What's is strange for me that old radio was connected without tjis socketd.

Any ideas please

[Edit]
I send a message to the seller and one thing, before when I asked him about connection etc. his answer was: "just connect it which can plug to".
It's seems to be easy, only one plug and antenna like in original radio but when I told him that all works without sounds he asked me to send photo of this brown box. Now I know that this thing is called "canbus box".
He asked me: "please show me the canbus box picture which have words on it".

After Unforgiven suggestion I scanned this QR code and surprise:
"For：2006 Sebring，2007 300C，2010 Compass"

I am waiting now for the development of events

Hi, I have an answer:
"you need to bypass your amplifier and conenct with speaker directly".

I'm angry because, no time, no place to do this.
I did not buy a radio that would fit my car, to play electrician now.
This is even possible to bypass this amplifier?

I think what's happening here is that your original radio had a separate amplifier. My car has a Rockford sound system and the head unit passes the signal to a 710W amplifier located under the driver's seat. Your new head unit probably has an integrated amplifier so it just need to connect directly to your speakers. think if you can locate where the amplifier is on your vehicle, you might find the direct connections to the speakers there. The only question then would be are the wires long enough to reach your new adapter.

Hi,

Update: with the help of colored plugs, unfortunately, it failed to get a sound so now I will try to connect directly to the speakers. Unfortunately, I do not know where the amplifier is ... seaech in progress
