CD changer wires for Sirius installation?

Hello guys and gals,

I am trying to do a Sirius retrofit in my 2001 E39 M5 - when I was taking out the CD changer to put the Sirius receiver in-line I found that I only have the 3-pin connector (a friction-type connector that I believe is used for power) and a mini-coaxial connector (that I believe sends audio to the amplifier). All the instructions I have seen for installing the Sirius receiver make mention of a 6-pin audio connector that goes to the CD changer - I don't see one connected to mine. Do I have one hidden somewhere, or do I need an adapter or something? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Tom
