    RCD510 switched 12v outlet

    Has anybody successfully found a switched 12v output from an RCD510 to use as an amp trigger?
    I've buzzed out pretty much every pin and can't find one.
    Pin 10 on connector 5 claims to be a "CD changer, control line, switched positive", but I could only measure 2.7v off it and it didn't appear to switch. Maybe it needs to see a CD changer to work?
    And 2.7V isn't enough to switch my amp anyway.

    Currently I'm powering my amp off the boot cigarette lighter socket, which switches on/off with the ignition.
    So if I don't have the radio on the amp is still on, which then picks up various farts and splats.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    how often do you really have the radio off when you're in the car?

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
