Default Sirius Satellite Installation problems

So I just ordered a Sirius satellite receiver on eBay for my A3 ('06). When I tried to install it, I noticed that my car has 2 antenna connectors in the back, but the receiver only has one connector.

Does anyone know if I can purchase a splitter for this problem? I know a splitter exists in reverse (where the receiver has 2 connectors, and the car has 1), but I'm not sure if there's one for the problem I'm currently having...

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Sounds like you ordered the wrong unit. Only the newer models have a single connection

I'm thinking you are correct. when i got it for my car. keep in mind i have the 07 A4 B7. and i had 2 connections i had to do. one to the sharkkfin and the other runs to the headunit in the dash. i think they are color coordinated as well. purple and green if im not mistaken.
