I've figured out most of this. What I can't figure out is what, if anything, plugs into the Can Interface. One side comes from the Dynavin harness but I can't find anything that plugs into the other side of the Interface (it's a 10 pin connector). Or do we not use the Can interface at all.......?
Getting error codes and SRS light and thinking it's because of this.
Please help.

I suspect you moved your seat(s) all the way back to do the install? It's a known issue that the airbag connections under the seats can fail. There's some info on the forums about this, but basically there is a TSB that tells you to remove the connectors and directly solder the wire leads together. Hope that points you in the right direction.

In fact, I did.
In looking at the threads on the subject, it seemed to involve 955's, not later cars. To be sure, I did look under the seat and nothing looked amiss.
Taking it to the stealer since Duramteric won't clear and doesn't even log a fault code for airbags, just codes 1299 and 459. I posted a thread about it but got no responses.

If these units displayed the trip computer info like mpg etc id have one like a shot but not having that info is a deal breaker for me which is a shame as it looks like a good bit of kit

I feel the same way. It's only like three litle things, but it's a deal breaker. I'd mostly like to see instant MPG, Trip MPG, Continous MPG, and the Temp. That's all I really care about.

You get mpg through the existing center display on the speedo. There's a physical needle for oil temp on the speedo. What you gain can't even compare to the old PCM 2.1

The mpg I get on the center wheel display is only the "since last manual reset" one. It's not instantaneous or automatically reseting. I can't imagine how annoying it would be to only have that. Either way I'm slowly leaning more and more towards the Dynavin. How's the GPS software that it comes with?

The nav software is obviously a huge improvement both functionally and visually compared to the PCM. If you've used stand alone units from garmin or tomtom it's more or less on par with those. I was concerned that using the antenna that came with the unit would result in a weaker signal but it's not the case for me. I get full signal pretty much everywhere I go and some parts are known to have weak signals. I mounted mine behind the speedometer but I think some people have had just as much success mounting it on the a-pillar.
