Question Pinout for Symphony Head Unit (for mp3 connection)

I've got a Mk1 vRS with a Symphony Head Unit to which I'm looking to connect my Flash mp3 player -I'll fit a cable into the glovebox.

There appears to be a multi-plug for the (annoying) Autochanger, one for the ignition key signal and an un-used yellow connector.

does anybody have a pinout for the head unit so I know which pins to connect to the headphone socket?

I may dispense with the CD autochanger completely.

Cheers,

Thanks.

What I'm planning is to leave the autochanger in situ, tap into the CD Line-outs and use a dpdt toggle switch in the glove-box or ashtray to bring in the mp3 outputs OR the CD outputs. That should get around any autochanger detection issues. Hopefully the mp3 player output is beefy enough for the head unit.
