StonedAgain - you da man!! 
I ripped my glovebox out last night to see if I could find out if/where this part is/goes, and true enough I found it. There's no need to remove the glovebox to find it, but boy is it cunningly hidden!!!!! I only found it because I took the entire glovebox out. Since I didn't have the part, I used the connector that I removed when adding the ipod interface and dismantled and bypassed the second connector. Plugged everything in and it all started working.
Just need to get that part and restore the connection in case it's ever needed for 'diagnostics'.
I'll create a separate thread with details and pics on where this part is and how to get to it. I'm sure others will need this info too.
Thanks again!
