Where the heck is the radio antenna plug!??

Hi All,
I'm just finishing up my install of my android head unit, and I have just one issue to figure out. The radio antenna plug, I don't have one. That is, usually there is a metal plug that is in the OEM radio head unit and would just be stuck into the new radio head unit. But see the pics below, there is no plug. Does anyone have ANY idea of where the plug is located? Of course the seller, which has been horrible with communication, has not helped. Here are pics:


Here at the 2 plugs of OEM unit. On the right is the Fiber Optic plug, and I have no idea what the plug is on the left. Normally there is a metal plug for the radio antenna. Where is it??



This is just the back of my new Seicane Android head unit for reference. There is a blue and white wire that should connect to the antenna, according to the several youtube videos that I have closely followed

Here is the antenna on the right. I do not have it in my hands yet, as the stupid seller forgot to send and I am waiting for it. Nonetheless I am clueless of where the radio plug actually goes. Any ideas?


Another thread had the same question which was never resolved. In the trunk there are 2 plugs which look like antenna plugs. The metal plug in the middle of the pic is one possibility the blue (farkra) plug on the bottom left is also a possibility, although that is most likely for GPS? Thoughts?


Anyone have any ideas?
Have a great day!

Had the same situation, changed the COMMAND with android unit.
I had the PHONE conector in the central console, but I have never used it, so it was disabled. There was the cable for antenna.
My antenna connector was in the central console, but when I connected to my android unit, did not worked.
The two cables from the trunk were connected to the amplifier, I disconected them and just put them one in the other to work. Hopes that help

Anyone ever figure out a workaround? Same issue here, 2006 CLS55, installing an android head unit and would at least like AM radio. Don't care about FM

The antenna connectors are in the back, but when i tried them with my new android radio none of them worked good. (black fakra and yellow)
I have added the dab+ module to my radio and that works perfect here in the Netherlands.
