I have installed the special kernel and I had the sled out and had a look at the connector as described in the faqs. Some of the crimps didn't look too clever, in particular the ignition sense and the amp remote, with a lot of cores not held in the crimp.

I did some soldering but I had to be pretty minamilist to be able to refit the connectors to the plug. Ideally I would like to have remade the connections. Does anyone know what the name and/or manufacturer of this connector is as I would like to try and get some new crimps.

This week will see if what I have done so far has made any difference, and if not give me chance to inspect the flag Mark added to the kernel.
