Replacing factory COMAND - Need assistance

I'm replacing the COMAND headunit with aftermarket. Do I need the male or female fiber loop for behind the radio when I remove it? Does the COMAND radio have a male or female connector on the back?

My understanding is that once you disconnect your head unit from the loop .... it becomes irrelevant as your fiber optic no longer does anything.

while I remain skeptical that anything on the ring would function once the command unit is removed....

if you look at this EBAY add for a 2005 command unit, you should be able to get your answer from the fourth picture,

hope that helps,
