I would not piggy back off the COMAND constant wire because it is a rather large wire and splicing/hooking in to it/etc. would compromise its current carrying capabities.

If you search around on this forum or in the web you can find LOTS and LOTS of posts about the pinouts of your COMAND (or regular Becker stereo for instance, hint hint!). I would just link you one now but I don't have one handy, so you can do a little work.

Connector B is not valid for BOSE [810] systems.

You have switched power, so you can tap into that without being too gregarious.

Permanent power for the COMAND comes from a dedicated fuse in the REAR sam module (fuse box). So if you need permanent power why not just run a fuse from the Electric blind fuse option with relay and then install the console switch.

This gives you the ability to switch from the main console. But only do it that way if you have money to burn.

I dunno, you tell me... you asked TWO questions.

1) which can you get constant power from

2) "also" what are ALL the pins

So I thought maybe you could do a little research on your own.
