Xcarlink usb/sd/mp3 adaptor switch

Hi everybody.

I know it's a long message, sorry for this, but I'm clueless.
I have an Xcarlink interface from my old wrecked Nissan. Worked like a charm.
And this is the one available for Toyota Yaris: 
https://www.xcarlink.co.uk/toyota-usb-sd-mp3-interface-model-v.html
Type 1  2003 and younger.
It makes the head unit think it has a cd changer. 

So I kept the Nissan-Xcarlink to built it into my Yaris 2006. I assumed I only had to buy another interface cable.
From Xcarlink I have no answer after 3 mails to support in the last 2 years...
Another seller in Germany told me I had to buy a new interface. Well. 100€...
And I hate to dump it. Tried to sell it half the price, no one.
I don't understand if the basic operation is the same that there is no possibility to make a cable to fit my old one to  fit the Yaris, or to cut the Nissan connector and fit a Yaris connector?
On my Nissan it was for:
- changing the source: FM-AM-CD-CD changer. 
While in CD changer mode:
- change the folder up or down
- change the song up or down.
So for my Yaris as I can see the steering wheel buttons(mode, etc)  it's the same, or am I wrong here?

So I opened up the Xcarlink box just to look at the interface. (I'm a retired baker, no electrician).
I wrote down the connections to the Nissan connector.
Two extra cables come out of the interface:
- one red with a sticker ACC > Ignition, 
- one Yellow with a sticker Power > Battery,  
These I had also connected in my Nissan.

Any thoughts if this could be possible?

it's like the car is talking in Japanese and the xcarlink only speaks Russian

Thanks for the info. Ok, now I can be sure. Got the info from 2 independant sources.

Sad, I was hoping not needing to trash it and make our world better by recycling it.
