The radio is definitely post 09/2002 (the car is 2006, but I checked the build date on the radio anyway just to be sure). So it may well be a dud cable. Thing is I'm reluctant to fork out for another one, especially an OEM one, only to find out it doesn't work either and the issue lies elsewhere.
It would be a lot simpler to buy an aftermarket head unit... why do they all have to look so crap.
If its a single din one, you could move to a double din and move the aircon down. The trim bits are all easy to get and cheap and some of the android double din units are pretty OEM looking with a lot of features, like this one

Did you manage to find one of these in the end?
I just ordered one on eBay for around €60 with free shipping. Not bad considering the cheapest quote I got from a dealer was ~€85 (€69 + VAT).
Fair play, haven’t ordered one yet but those OEM ones had caught my eye.
