just got this headunit and i'm trying to install it but the plugs seem to be totally different..
The black tube thing i guess is for the antenna but theres no way the bmw antenna plug is going to fit into it with the long black tube in the way. And the white plug doesnt match up with the bmw plug either. The headunit came with some sort of adapter for the white plug but it has no plug for the BMW cable, it just has wires that i would have to wire nut together and I dont really want to deal with that. All the BMW cables plugged in fine to the JVC. What adapters do i need? Any of you at sound advice have them?

There was also rca plugs in the trunk from when my brother had an amp/subs in the trunk. I thought I could use them as an input for the mp3 player but I didnt see any RCA's in the back of the head unit bay. I guess those RCA's go somewhere else in the car.. How do we run cables from the head unit to the trunk? is dash removal necessary ?
