Neithers the other one !! There lies my problem. Where should I be slaving the new antenna into ? Where the original one connects into the loom or at the unit ?

Connects right to the back of the head unit.

It's an SMB connection IIRC. Something like this:

Ok , I have one of them , doesn't fit where I'm trying to fit it. The only connection I can see similar is mid r/h (looking from front ) on the back of the head unit with a black locking clip , but the antenna plug I disconnect has a male connection and the eBay antenna have female connections. Am I looking in the wrong place ?

This is the gps connector on the RNS-D:

The end on your GPS antenna should look like this:
