Right, sorry, me using the wrong terminology again. I’m just calling it an auxiliary socket as I can't think of a better name. What it has is rear camera, steering wheel, amp, illumi, +12V switched and permanent, handbrake, front camera, video in, and various speaker options including sub.

Kind of you to even consider it Alan, but however frustrating this gets, I’m learning so much, so I’m determined to plough on alone!

I have a couple of old ISO harnesses I could vandalise if I go this way – but the trouble is, only the “auxiliary” sockets are labelled, like above. The big main block which the main loom connects to is all anonymous. So of course I know it’s for power and speakers, because those are the wires that go there from the ISO end – but I have no way of knowing what the unused pins are for, and whether a +12V should go to any of them.[/QUOTE]
I’ve emailed Erisin again, telling them I really need them to help me with this, or I’ll send it back. Fortunately I paid with Paypal, and they normally take the purchaser’s side in cases like this, I’ve found.
I’ll keep you informed
