What's The Cereal Bowl Thing On The Roof ?

Forward of the old Track Star satellite antenna I have what looks like a cereal bowl upside down on the roof. It has wire running to it, haven't checked the wire type. It doesn't appear to have any mechanical fasteners, just puckey holding it down. Any suggestion ?

I'm removing the old satellite antenna and wonder if this is part of it?

Cover over the compass for the Javalina/Audit.  Caulked in place.

Speaking of which, is there any way to use the OEM compass paraphernalia once you have removed the Javalina/Audit?
 
Thanks,

Our Audit 860 system has (fairly accurate) compass function, but we don't have a "cereal bowl" on the roof.  Where is our compass located?

I use my iPad & iPhone as GPS, both have compass included. I'm trying to clean off the roof as much as possible in prep for solar installation & roof coating. I'll probably just remove it.
