googled that part # and came up with this site
http://www.kenpatton.com/AUX_Connector_Retrofit.pdf
so I think you are correct in stating it's for the cars without the jacks...
If you already have the recieving jack you should be cool with just grabbing the 6fl cable. Try loading some mp3's on a thumb/flash drive and insert that into the center console to see if it plays. Think I remember a few members posting they use that instead of an ipod all together....good luck...

Thanks buddy ! I emailed Garry when I opened the box to let him know that the wrong ones arrived, so now I'll either return them or sell them , but I'm starting to feel like Sanford and Son here so I think I'll be sending them back
i can hear that theme song now...

You seem to have bought the AUX retrofit cable and not the iPOD cable.
Speaking of which does anyone know how different is the BMW cable from the ones you get all over the place which have a USB port and the Audio socket. I dont know which is more expensive.
