I found a likely-looking connector in the 2nd battery area that had wires with coloured insulation of those of the gearshift wiring so hooked-up my remotely operated relay box. Not only did I get the correct wires (a brown and a yellow - there were 2 yellows) but I even wired the relays the correct way. Using double-sided tape, the remote is stuck discretely onto the side of the steering wheel below the phone switches, with the top button to upshift and the lower button to downshift. I've only tested it on my property but look forward to not having to go into sport mode (which often causes a downshift) to bump up a gear.

I found that the insulation on the wires on 1 side of the connector could not be melted using a soldering iron. I assume that side goes to the gearbox and the insulation has extra good heat-resistant properties to withstand exhaust heat.
