OK so that was me! I happen to have a wiring diagram (Current Flow) PDF on my PC.
A search for DFA produced a pair of direct connections (L and R) between the RNS (J402) and the "ABS with EDL control unit" J104.
So if your car has that wiring it's presumably input from the ABS to the SatNav. Whether RNS-E needs it or not is another question....

Edit: As Ian (IT) noted in his thread (linked to by Sean) the RNS-E Canbus setup is different to the RNS-D, that may be why there's a whole unused connector!
