The CD changer comes in on one of the three small square connectors which are locked together -yellow, blue or green.
The entirety of the CD changer wiring is in one block of that, including the power supply. I've hacked into it a while back and can confirm that.
The other two parts of the 3-colour connector are for telephone and line out (for Bose?).

The round DIN-style connector mentioned above is for video INPUT only. The commands to the TV tuner go by another route, probably the big connector (via Canbus?)?
The big connector has the Canbus (2 wires) and RFLS (reverse, one wire) definitely, not sure anything else of importance.

Edit: I think the NF+ and NF- pins are for telephone audio (input to RNS), not sure about DFA_R and DFA_L ...... (Though one post I found online suggested they were wheel speed sensors input to the Satnav ) I guess someone prepared to work through a wiring diagram could figure that out!
