Question Fitting dccd: need help on 12v to it!

In the final thows of fitting a dccd to a non dccd Sti.

I need to get 12v to the relay and the ecu.

I think I can use the aux switch position on the ignition switch as the dccd should be powered with the engine running (again, i think so).

Are there firstly any thoughts on this, or can anyone give me exact descriptions on where to tap into for the 12v??

Hope you can help me.

Is there nothing on the loom already?

I would be inclined to use the ecu's 12v supply if I had to wire it direct.

No point running the DCCD ecu whilst you eat your sandwiches and listen to radio2 inbetween hillclimbs

You know me well!
David, about to call you, but i think I've cracked it.
The Ign lead can be cut into easy as the alarm people hve on the Aux terminal.

There is a black cable from the ign switch which bells-through when the key is turned to Ign. I can take the lead off that to the relay power and the ecu with a 5 A inline fuse.
