With my remote PDL add on, the wires are piggy backed onto the OEM wires.

I'd have to double check my notes, but it seems the aftermarket PDL
remote system is controlled like this:

positive controls the aftermarket PDL relays which in turn switch the
negative side of the OEM PDL system.

Please confirm this with the Bentley but IIRC, the OEM PDL system is
controlled via the - side of the circuit.

Not sure if this is the same manufacturer but did you find this pdf ?
