For my application I'll be using the 3 'spare' pins in the trailer plug for the rear caravan camera... would have been handy for the pins to be there but that's ok, will sort in due course. 
See the posts from Rovie and Jean in the what did I do today thread where they dismantled the trim in the rear. I think adding power to those pins would actually be pretty simple. Not saying it shouldn’t have been done but I think it’s rectifiable. For Australia where we usually use 7 pin we generally don’t take power from that plug but from an anderson plug on the rear. For us we just need to figure out the power to the NATO plug.
The large relais for the Nato plug (see my photo) is located under the rear right trim. Because the software has not yet been adapted, it only switches on vehicles with a front winch. The NATO plug is supplied with power from there. When I'm back at the vehicle, I might be able to take a few more pictures.
Maybe just bypass the relay and make it live?
Theoretically feasible. Practically, I don't want to do it for the time being. INEOS is working on the update. I will now wait until late summer and hope that it will have worked by then. Including all the other bugfixes.
I would like it switchable but don’t want any other restrictions I want to use it to power my camper trailer on the road and my compressor beside the track and my camp at night. A switch is nice to have but not critical, other conditions for use are undesirable. If the next software update fixes then good. If not then 100% live is fine. All my previous vehicles with rear Anderson plug have been 100% live and less protected than a NATO plug with no issues
100% but rather than permanent live I normally install a voltage sensitive relay of some sort to handle the amps required and not flatten the start battery, so when the car starts up power goes to rear anderson, keeps power until volts go down. Just need to sort what amps and volt cut off you need.
Don't suppose they wrote you the reply you can post up?
Got to feel for agents, I wonder if some of them are wondering what they have got into, especially as Ineos seem to want to hide from any direct contact with their customers.
I'm sure you'll keep us posted but who is he?
Yes this was always my fear, and will be worse with the disconnect here in Oz. I hope they're flying out a software guy to train up the dealers here.
Nah, I do believe that’s a self resetting 150amp circuit breaker...
The irony of installing a single pole Anderson connector, accessible via the wheel arch removable panel to isolate/switch the NATO socket...
I've tested it - the output is voltage sensitive.
Pin 9 is permanently live?
