Do you have a link to the one you brought?

It sounds like you probably have the older style one for the Gamma and Beta headunit's

When you buy the VW kit you get the choice of 2 in the box. What headunit do you have?

It's probably the RCD 300. The connection looks a little weird to me, there's no brown wire like I had.

Yes the one you brought will not work with the RCD300, it will only work on the older not touch screen navigation headunits.
