    Now to elaborate. I will call you and talk to you to explain the wiring better, but here goes.

    The wires that plug into the DS are twisted together. They seem to have a Datastar abbreviation as in the "DS and numbers" on the wires. I know that wishful thinking that WS was smart enough to label there wires this way. The radio wires were coded close to the radio and speakers abbreviations. The wires are marked "DS06A" They split to two similar, but opposite plugs right in front of the dash computer behind the spedo. Then the plug that that plugs into (in the second pick) has "AB09C" and "AB04C" on them. That plug and wires comes from the large bundle of wires that comes from the firewall. It splits off right where the large wire clamp holds the bundle to a mounting tab right under to the drivers side of the steering column. It looks as if the whole bundle goes right into the engine compartment.

    I just started running my 2006 4900ex with c15. The datastar seems to work, but the pixels in the screen are messed up and very hard to read. My truck came with a ton of guages, but no pyro or fuel pressure guage. Does the DataStar show those? I will probably put mechanical guages in, but no room on the dash. Do the make a guage holder that goes on the Pilar, like you see in tons of diesel pick ups?
