Del,
That will be "Connector A Pin 1", Black Yellow is correct. Wish I had thought of that way back, but now I know how to do it. All I need is a fuse strip and a relay. ![]()

Just found one of these on fleebay:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301771732740?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2648&ssPageNa me=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It is a relay with a fuse in line with the Normally open contacts. I only plan on one extra bit of kit, a DVD player, so this will suffice. Then I spotted this at the same shop:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311213044119?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2648&ssPageNa me=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This is a remote with a relay. At the price worth buying for a play. Might be able to fire the Aux heater remotely from indoors ![]()

I did see them while looking for the same setup as in mine, only thing with that is its not very expandable.
The one in mine has been wired such that the first fuse supply's everything the second fuse protects the parking module if the relay should fail and the others are consumers. I like the idea of remote starting heaters You seen these Ray? http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.u...01/category/37

Del,
That was the first one I saw and made a note but also needed a relay to fit. Then spotted the one I have ordered, just lazy on my part. I was looking at the fuse strips that are already wired with 5 inch wires. There were four way and six way. Each was split into two banks, so two inputs and four or six outputs. No attached relay but my thought was fuses available for 30 as well as 15. Then realised that I only needed one for a DVD player.

Have you disconnected the black/yellow from the parking aid controller and connected that to the relay coil, then supplied the parking aid controller from one of the new fuses? I was planning on just tapping from the black/yellow to the relay coil because that would not be a big increase of load. Have you seen this:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1219309675...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I have used a couple on different buses with great success.

They way mine is done and if you refer back to the photos you will see what I mean. The Parking module is supplied by a 5 amp circuit to A1, from there tapped off is the blue wire, that has been fed through a fuse and from there to the coil of the relay to switch the relay. Its a 7.5 amp fuse at present but i intend to drop that to 1 amp as soon as i can in order to protect the feed to the parking module should the relay short out. The relay is fed from the heavy red cable that feeds the the other fuse panel and is a large current rating so again needs to be fused at a rating above your total demand. So thats two fuses before you even think about the circuit your going to power. Hence the three fuse relay that i showed you, I tried to find the unit in my car as its expandable but have yet to find it.
