    Hey all, so, im in the middle of fitting the above and have found the wiring for power and earth. Ive read up on the fibre optic being taped up in a loom in an oblong box shaped unit. But also on the inner glove box lid is another pair of fibre optics in a smaller plug unit plugged into nothing, but housed in the exact plug shaped to fit into power earth plug part. Can that one be used, if not, why is it even there.

    Cheers in advance.

    Yes you can use the diagnostic port one if needed, just another MOST plug at the end of the day.
    It's used to update devices on the MOST loop, something you won't need to do.

    So then it's just the coding to be done.
