cheers mate, i've done this change.

to help anybody else who may want to do this, here's how:

remove the black socket (X300) going into the PDC module, shown below: http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...pscaae3130.jpg

tap onto the Brown/White wire, going into Pin 7, shown below:

Power the relay with this.

I also swapped my automotive relay with a PCB Relay as suggested. it has 300ohms compared to 40ohms on my outgoing automotive relay.

all working perfectly with no flicker on the screen!

thanks again
