Bit confused here - did you just get "just the radio (nothing else)", as stated in your post or an an actual RNS-E? If you got the RNS-E this link is one of the more useful ones for retrofitting the RNS-E into the B6/B7 models

RNS-E | Audi Forum

and a more specific one

There were 2 types of radios for the North American B7 - Symphony II or Symphony II+. For navigation, you have to have the RNS-E headunit instead of the Symphony series. Where are you located? You have a diesel (TDI) which wasn't sold in North America. The links should have pictures of what the RNS-E looks like.

Need to know the exact model number of the Nav Unit you have bought, but it does sound like you have the RNS-E - the quad lock connectors most likely will be straight plug and play. You might have to move the Bose signal pin location and get a GPS antenna that many folks just mount in behind the instrument cluster.
