the adapter you have in the link is either the American International or the scosche (both the same). You do not have a little black box to connect to. The black box is used for the metra adapter. On your gray harness adapter, you will connect two wires. They should be orange and black. Using black as the reference, #3 wire, count two over. This 5th one should be orange. The black on connects to the ground (3 wires connected to the defrost button). The orange one, #5, connects to the orange (or red) wire connected to all the lighting wires (yellow).

Once you find these, you should be ready to go.

good luck, I hope this help :)
