Default Base Radio Connectors - C6

I am about to replace the base radio in my 2007 L2T with a Kenwood unit.

I ordered the interface kit from Crutchfield. The kit has a single connector that interfaces with the main harness connector.

While researching how to go about replacing the radio, I saw a photo of a C6 radio and it had two places for connectors to attach.

I then went to the factory repair manual and looked at the wiring schematics. It appears that for the Base (US8) radio only a single connector is used.

Has anyone removed the base radio from their C6 and if so, can you verify if there was one connector or two.

Thanks for any assistance.
Larry

Thanks.
Since I don't have XM or Onstar my radio should then only have one connector, correct?
Thanks
