Technical details
The 25 amp Deutsch plugs used in the INEOS are
two pin DTP style plugs, with size 12 pins rated at 25 amps (14-12AGW wire size). See images below.
These plugs can be found on the roof (4 locations) - if you selected the auxiliary power option. NOW CONFIRMED: There are no Deutsche DTP plugs in the footwells, only bare wires (at both ends of the wire).
Parts numbers are:
• DTP06-2S (male housing, female pins) with wedgelock (2S means two sockets for the DTP06 plug);
• DTP04-2P (female housing with male pins) with wedgelock (2P means two plugs for the DTP04 plug);
• 0460-204-12141 Pin Contacts (male) (pins only)
• 10462-203-12141 Socket Contacts (female) (sockets only)
There are many different types of Deutsch plugs, the one used on the INEOS auxiliary power option are the
two pin DTP plug shown on the bottom left of this image.

Fitting
The positive and negative wires need to be correctly crimped onto the male pin contacts (0460-204-12141) and the female socket contacts (10462-203-12141).
The two male contact pins are inserted into the shorter plug (DTP04-2P) and the two female socket contacts are inserted into the longer plug (DTP06-2S). Wedgelocks are then need to be inserted into both sides of the Deutsch plug.
Make sure you have correct polarity between the two wires you are joining (positive on cable one matches with positive on cable two and negative with negative).
Instructional video on Deutsch plugs here (they use two pin DT rather than DTP style plugs).
Closed or open barreled pins/sockets
You can buy either closed or open barreled pins/sockets for the Deutsch DTP plugs. Having tested both, closed barreled pins/sockets are better. More information
here and
here.
Deutsch sealing plugs
There is also a white sealing plugs for the Deutsch DTP plugs (
see image below), which are those white ends you see on the Deutsch DTP plugs fitted to the IG.
Deutsch Mounting Clips
I noticed there are mounts on the DTP clips and opening my eyes found
these mounting clip options. Like any Deutsch part, they can be expensive. One metal clip is listed at over AUD$18, although the plastic ones are much cheaper.

Deutsch DTP on IG roof
This image, from the IG, shows a complete pair of Deutsch DTP plugs (probably no sockets in the DTP06-2S and maybe no wedgelock). I have added labels (which Connector-Tech ALS has confirmed are correct):

Some real world experiences
I have the
Deutsch Connector Removal Tools to remove Deutsch pins/sockets from the DTP plugs. In real world use, a pair of long nose pliers (hobby size) makes the removal easier.
Tip: locate the locking pin in the plug (you may need to remove a wedge), press down on the locking pin with the long nose pliers and pull out the pin/socket. Repeat for the other pin/socket. You could also use a small flat blade screwdriver instead of the pliers, but the advantage of the pliers is they grip the plug as well.
