DJbrand1 is infamous around these parts
Its a wire that clips onto the left side of the radio cage. It makes contact with point on the stock radio chassis. With an aftermarket radio, the point is not there, so the alarm thinks the radio is gone.

Mine didnt false alarm for about 2 weeks, then almost every few hours...I stopped arming the alarm because of it...then I remembered I reconnected the spade plug thinking it was a ground...just pull it and you are ok.
