Sadly, having done that it doesn't work as expected, BECAUSE the diagram I was using (attached) is INCORRECT.
In fact, certainly in my car and I would guess many (all?) others the switched and unswitched power pins are reversed. I have confirmed this by careful testing, but only after soldering and taping up all the wiring. 
In the diagram (which is a mirror of the CD changer fly lead socket) pin 6 is switched 12v (on when RNS is on) and pin 11 is permanent +12v. Earth/ground on pin 8 is correct.
In the CD changer fly lead these pins are numbered/coloured as follows:
Switched 12V - pin 7, GREY
Permanent 12V - pin 10, YELLOW
Earth/ground - pin 5, GREEN
Hope this helps anyone who decides to tap into these leads. I'm off to do some more soldering.
