My other question was can I connect straight to the amplifier in the rear pillar or do I have to go from the tuner in the spare wheel well?
I have not cut any wires in the boot, just connected a 17 pin bmw to iso converter behind the unit, does this mean the power wires for the amps will still work?
Thanks,

You don't need to physically cut the wires to lose the supplies to the boot, just removing my Hi-line units were enough. Best advice would be to check with a meter, that the purple/pink and purple/yellow are live with the ignition turned on and if not, to link them across at the back of the DD.
I can't help at all with the type of plug used at the TV amp, because I have never seen it. In your situation, I would be inclined to simply run a length of CT-100 modern Sat/TV cable from the DD to the wheel well, fit an F-plug at the boot end, use an F-plug female to female adaptor, then fit one of those special Shotgun F-plugs on the end of one of the two leads presently fitted with an SMB.
