Does anyone know what pins do what in the back of the RR Alpine stereo?

It looks ISO, but not everything looks quite as it should.

I'm particularly interested in the amplifier, wheel control and changer connections. These are the same connectors as Blaupunkt use but by the looks of things have completely different wiring.

All help/pointers appreciated.

Got most of them now.
The wheel controls look to be a simple resistive ladder.
The changer port looks fairly straight forwards (but it's not staying anyway)
Power connector is ISO standard
Speakers look ISO standard but probably arent since they drive an amplifier - needs attenuators.
I can't decide what the 2 remaining small connectors (yellow and green) do.

And I am puzzled by how to control the "dsp amplifier". Does it need much controlling, and what will I not have if I don't have the ability to control it (other than supplying power + audio feed...)?

Getting there slowly.
