Good Evening,

I just received my new Kenwood HU (DDX-616) and the Metra Wiring Harness and antenna adapter.
Well the wiring harness has a black wire, which is thicker than the rest, but it has a tag that says "FOR SUBARU ONLY." I am sure this is the correct harness after double checking and seeing some pictures.

My question is, is this the ground wire?

Also in one of the pictures i saw that black wire is spliced for a mechanical connection to a ground. Is that correct/necessary?

Thanks for your help, this is my fist time doing any kind of electronic work on a car, and I wouldn't be able/feel comfortable doing it without all the great help from this site.
