I made a splitter cable which plugs into the back of the nav unit. The nav unit plugs into that leaving a spare for me to plug into whenever I need. Got the pins and plastic housings from bwm which came with wires.

Sorted... Get some pics and destructions up when your doing it in case someone else wants to do the same... I can't find the parts list I used for building my splitter but searching on the phone is a pain anyway
