The 4pin must be 1+2 (no power, jumpered).
The fibre Most lead provides the canbus power on signal that switches the relays inside the amp, the amp is powered all the time, but it sitting there waiting for power on (bit like a tv in standby mode).
Basically, it uses CanBus ARID 0x130 wakeup, and wakes up and powers the amp and makes it ready.
Radio will wakup and power on with
ARID 0x130 40 (wake with no key, as in press volume button on to play stereo).
ARID 0x130 41 (key in, stage 1), ARID 0x130 45 (key in stage 2).

Yup, that's what I'm thinking as well. My only worry is that since my car is in storage in the winter, I would rather implement the additional power cut of the CANBUS interface in the amp using the power switch from the CD changer power source.
I'll let you know.
BTW, what does ARID stand for? I'm assuming it is a direct equivalent to CANBUS message IDs?
