Ibus #6 should be a white/gray/and yellow dots
The first thing I did was connect the Seicane unit as instructed. Everything worked but I had no sound. I was advised the IBUS app with DSP would correct the problem so I ordered the app with DSP option.

I know what ACC and B+ are for. Initially the instructions were that the above four wires would only be used for the IBUS app so I removed the four wires including the snap in connectors on them that were needed for the app from the blue connector and wired the app wires to them. The app worked but still had no sound. I emailed Seicane when I found I had no sound. They told me to cut the wires before the connector and, install the blue connector back in place and wire the Nav unit (my interpretation of their directions) into the back. That meant the wires I removed from the connector had to be snapped back in place. The problem is that I don't remember what slots those four wires should snap back into to provide voltage, for instance, to the proper pin in the blue connector going to the Nav unit to test the original system or be sure the NAV unit is properly wired per Seicane fix to see if I get sound that way.

In short, until I can confirm which color wire goes into each one of the 12 slots I can't go back or forward.

In hindsight I should have spiced into the blue connector wires rather than removing them from connector. I thought about it but didn't and I know better.
