Garmin 665 where a Nav IV once was - connector?

Howdy, I have a new-to-me 2012 R1200RT. It has a mount installed for a Nav IV but no GPS. I otherwise own a Garmin 660 and a 665 and they plug right in to the cradle. Work fine. The side buttons of course don't function.

I want to deploy the 665 with XM support (I have the receiver puck too.). That requires the cable bundle that comes with the 660/665 cradle as opposed to the current Nav IV mount. I have the cradle. Swapping out the cradle looks like a no brainer. It basically has a fused pigtail for power on the end of the cable. And I *could* unplug the only connector from the Nav IV mount (no audio), and tap into the two wires that powered the Nav IV cradle. But that seems ugly. This is a BMW :=)

Before I start digging on the wiring, does anyone know where I can get the proper connector for the gps side so I can plug into the already installed factory wiring? Part number?

Thanks in advance for any advice or direction.
