OEM PCM#1 GPS aerial connector identification?

Hi everyone

I replaced my PCM1 unit with a more recent Alpine unit and found that the Alpine unit has a different GPS aerial connector to the OEM one the car used

It looked very much like the OEM Porsche PCM#1 Becker one used a MCX connector, so I bought a MCX female -> MCX female connector

And as the Alpine uses a HRS GT5-1S connector, I bought a HRS GT5-1S connector MCX plug

However... the OEM connector doesn't actually seem to be a MCX one - it is _very_ similar in size, but appears to have a slightly fatter lip and thus won't fit into the female->female connector

Has anyone bought an adapter for theirs and if so can they remember what it was?

It looks like it could be TS9, or a MMCX one, and being German it could well be a Fakra plug but I'd rather not buy a bunch of leads just to find out so any advice much appreciated

Some plugs for identification attached
