Hi all...

While, looking behind the boot panels and cubbyholes above the rear wheel arches on my cayenne i stumbled across this connector block not attached to anything. Its located just on the right as you face into the boot. UK 06 plate, S

It has three pins, which with a basic bulb tester seem to be; 1 remote live off the pcm2 head unit or maybe off the ignition ( I just thought of but haven't checked),

1 constant live and 1 ground. the other positions in the connector block are not occupied.

Im thinking it might be for a CD changer that the previous owner may have removed or maybe the car never came with but the wiring is all there for it. First question, is that correct or does anyone know differently?

Anyway - the reason I'm interested in this is as i dont have a bose speaker/sub package and I want to fit an old mono block amp for a sub and a power cap. So i am looking for a remote, ground and live to power it. I dont think the live will be able to handle the current so i will run that from the battery.

Having read the site a little, I think I understand correctly that, if i have the bose system, i cant use an aftermarket amp with the pcm, due to the MOST fiber optic... but if the speakers all run off the pcm I can tap into a line out at the headunit to run audio feed to the amp. Second question is...that correct and do i need a high to low or backwards convertor for the audio running to the amp.

Here are a couple of photos of the connector in the boot...

And thanks for taking the time to read this, any help is appreciated. Thanks
