DAB Cable connection

Hi all, I have the following question. There are three fakra type connections on the rear of the Mini Boost CD 2012 radio and one white larger one.
White larger one is USB cable from Head Unit to port.
Black one is Standard FM/Am input
THis leaves a green and yellow/mustard coloured connection.

On the roof antenna there are two ports on the base and three which are hanging cables with Fakra connectors.

It is the three "hanging" ones I am interested in.

I also have a 5 meter Fakra cable as I have retrofitted this 2012 Boost into a 2007 Cooper S. I want this cable to be for the DAB.

Which connector on the rear of the head unti and which connector on the roof antenna would I connect it to??
I have removed tailgae trim and there is no place on the Antenna Diversity Module for anothe rFakra connector.

This s the final part of my LCI to Pre LCI head unit retrofit and would be grateful if someone can help me

Paul

Ah !! You are all American and use SDARS/Sirius and DAB is European.

Nothing on the net anywehre and all the manuals do not show the connectors purpose on both the rear of the head unit and the loose cables on the roof antenna.

It appears that even after 19 years nobody knows what those connectors on both the head unit and roof antenna do
