This is the plug that goes in the factory AMP, number 2 = white = remote turn on. You can connect 12v from the battery to see if it works.

thats the one thanks

I realize that doesn’t help but you might jump on cruthfield and look at one of their harnesses and see if you can count the pin out, that should point you to the amp trigger wire in the factory harness.

I'm using the wiring that came with the new one plus the 6 meter extension cable as everything is in the boot

Nice! Good job. I recommend getting the Resler IBUS app and USB stick to get some nice features.

Outstanding, hadn’t had a chance to look but that was exactly what I was looking for . Must be hard wiring it or the adapter would have taken care of that for him - that said, I think you may have gotten him all sorted out.

Wow, I go to bed and when I wake up you guys have him decoded, rewired and almost reassembled.

Glad to see it sorted out so quickly.
