VBox Lite CAN wiring

I know I've seen an illustration before, but can't seem to find it again. Anyone have any info on how to wire in the VBOX to the CAN bus? I will have my steering wheel off in the next couple of days to replace with MaCarbon, and believe I can access the wires there. Just not sure which ones I need to tap. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Robert at evoms.com did mine for me a few months ago. I don't have a diagram but this is the final piece of data which got it working for us from Joe at vboxusa.com

"From my understanding there are two different ECU’s which Porsche used on the 997 911 Turbo; Bosch 7.8.1 and Siemens EMS SDI 3.1.

Bosh 7.8.1 – CAN HIGH: Pin 36 (YELLOW/WHITE)
CAN LOW : Pin 37 (BLACK/WHITE)
Siemens EMS SDI 3.1 – CAN HIGH: Pin 54 (YELLOW/WHITE)
CAN LOW : Pin 41 (BLACK/WHITE)
"

Hope that helps!

Also I thought the wires had to be tapped into the ecu not the steering wheel. I might be wrong, I didn't see them hook it up. I had to buy these cables for my vbox lite to hook it up:
RLCAB015M, RLCAB075, RLCAO19M

Thanks Hoppity - appreciate the help. I've got a message in to Racelogic too, and will share the info if I can get it.
