I'd guess it carried the W-Bus signal from the software the removed during the "enhancement" programme. You know, the kind of enhancement that actually reduces functionality 
Red wire no longer present on newer models.

ah yes that would make sense! Explains why my 54 plate has the red wire.
So if the red wire is already present I take it theres no need for a FBH connector pin, as you just cut said red wire and then attach new wire to the cut length of existing red wire coming out of pin 2

Ok, so just a last few of questions to get everything straight in my head! . Sorry!
The red wire......10forcash wrote:DONT tap into the wire with it still connected to the ATCU
So how/where do I disconnect? Do I just wait for the Disco to go to sleep and then snip!?!
Once red wire is cut do I just want to tape it up out of the way somewhere, or do I connect it back to Pin 2 on the FBH along with the new lead from the timer?
And with the timer, the top right pin is w-bus for pin 2 on the FBH and the top left is OUT so if i connect top right to FBH pin 2 and it all works does this mean I don't need to connect anything at all to the OUT pin?

Just cut the red wire somewhere convenient and connect the timer W-Bus output to the end going to the FBH, tie back the other end as it's not needed / used, the comment above related to tapping into the circuit, you can cut the wire no problems (there is no need to tap into it as there is no functionality from the ATCU / CJB ) TorqTune

No ..unless you want to add an LED or some indication ..the "out " connector will produce 12 v + when the timer is active G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

A quick question to all who have done this mod and who obviously are not as thick as I am.
In stapldm's excellent instructions, he lists 2 x 16mm circular crimp-on connectors. I've hunted high and low and can't find anything that big. Biggest I can find are some with a 12mm hole. Are they the ones he means (i.e. is 16mm the outside diameter)?
Got all the bits except those and the 3mm and 1.6mm wires and am hoping to do the mod tomorrow (weather permitting) so a quick reply would be welcome

I think he means 16mm across the hole crimp
You only need a crimp with an 8mm hole in the center to go over the battery and earth post ..
Red , blue and yellow crimps are just for wire sizes
Red - Wire size in mm2 0.25-1.65
Blue - Wire size in mm2 1.04-2.63
Yellow - Wire size in mm2 2.63-6.64 G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

As per the Land Rover fitting instructions for the kit, I took the permanent power from the light switch. Seemed to work OK. Please support Hearing Dogs for the Deaf. They make a difference.

Just had my GSM remote & timer fitted today by 10forcash.
The GSM remote is fitted behind the light switch area, very discreet 7 away from dust and possible water ingress.
An excellent job! No mess, no damage.
If you want your FHB with a timer & a GSM remote get TFC to do it.
thanks TFC it works a treat. Wot's that in Old Money
