Default Wiring question

Grey wire from steering wheel audio controls, is it a straight run to the audio ISO?

Forgot to add:-

The new steering wheel controls arrived from crazyleds today and I have fitted them, did try to find the wire I needed (grey) but space is at a premium on the drivers side.

Am I correct in thinking the grey wire runs from the steering wheel direct to the audio ISO.

If this is a yes then I can attach the side-light feed there.

i think it is the correct wire not 100% though best way is put original head in and check the volts with a volt meter

Cheers, all I have to do is run a cable from the side light circuit, so much easier taking the centre piece out, took ages getting the steering cowl back on cant grip screwdriver lol

God no, I peel back insulation of correct wire after probing try if ok its disconnect battery, cut wires, add heatshrink, solder, heat the heatshrink tubing and insulation tape to tidy up - really fussy about finishing touches. Those butterfly crimps are...putting it mildly crap.
