am referring to some sort of magnet on the crank arm?

Back of the magnet should have double sided tape....and a slot for a cable tie....secures it well

Yes you need one, how else will the unit detect the cadence?

Any magnet, does not matter if its a shimano, campag, sram, garmin, apple iTunes, or hardware shop magnet....

looks like its similar to the one on the trek frames

 

left magnet should be spoke magnet for speed....right one should be crank for cadence

 

spoke magnet lines up in center of "aerial" thingy (right side of sensor)

 

cadence one lines up with the "RS" writing on sensor

And a tube of glue?

 

Double sided tape

 

But tbh bike specific cadence magnets with a nice flat surface for the tape and slot for a tyrap are safest
