From what I've read, it should be universal, though it needs to be put in aux mode. However my unit has no setup button, just a CD selector, which does nothing.

Does anyone have a manual for this model? Or familiarity with it? I suspect I might be SOL, which isn't a big deal - the cable was $5. But I'd rather not buy another head unit if I don't have to.

Thanks.
Yeah, I think you are SOL. I could be wrong, but I think that model is just too old for the M-BUS adapter to work. I am pretty sure you need one of the later models with the ability to change the CD Changer source to "AUX" mode.
