My best guess is that the RNS has a pretty "straight through" feed on the constant 12v circuit so that should be safe for small loads.

I've just had a look at the XCarlink wiring - took it out of the car as it's rather bulky behind the RNS and I'm going to reconfigure it to make it easier to refit.
Anyway, it has a 5A fuse in it's wiring, in that constant 12v circuit.
So while I'm at it I'll make sure any 12v take-off I use is protected by that fuse. Should be OK then.
