The blue, white, yellow all need to go into the 3 pin diagnostic port.

If you look at the plug so it has two pins at the top and one in the bottom it is wired as such:

TOP LEFT________TOP RIGHT
YELLOW___________BLUE

_____BOTTOM CENTRE______
_________WHITE___________

Not to sure mate I don't think so but might be wrong.
I've stripped mine apart so I can fit the lcd where the clock goes in the saph and extended all the wiring so I have the key pad under the stereo.

I managed to buy one in kit form from collins when I say kit form it just needs mounting and switched wired and this was 2 years ago but I think they still have some and there better than any other monitor on the market
