Amazon accepted the return and paid for the shipping... so I'm only out a little time for their mistake. It appears they have the wrong picture with the accessory.
I'm going to try pluging the unit into that little metal adpater that came with the head unit. I don't expect that to work well, so I'll most likely be sending the cable back to Amazon, tomorrow.
Lucky me! The MP56 includes an antenna adapter that works wiith the BMW / VW plug! I don't have to return it!
All I have to do now is dremel a small hole in the glove box area to run the auxillary cable. After the cable is place, I can permanently place the head unit and be done with this headache.
I am very, very happy with the unit. The sound is MUCH better and gives many configuration options. The radio picks up the RDS data, as well, displaying the station title and current song info. This is the best $130 I've ever spent.
