That's from rauch as fitted by Kuhn/Krone/pottinger etc etc. NH will no doubt have another name and another price for it

Is the unlock code for parallel guidance expensive, and what cable is needed to go from the single pin coax NMEA output from the receiver to the strange wee 4 pin rs232 input that's supposed to be universal on the isobus?

For something that's supposed to be cross manufacturer compatible, they've made it as difficult as possible to actually achieve without employing a specialist electronics firm and remortgaging the mother in law's house !

That type of connector isn't on the cable loom that I have. It's rectangular plugs that go into the rauch screen that's on mine. It's all new to me 😱

This is the harness that came with my Kuhn Baler. Identical to your diagram with that plug as the output.
It fits into my Kuhn vt50 screen. Presumably there must be a way to connect to the intelliview though, somewhere on the tractor.

Presumably there must be a way ......

Is the plug that goes to the vt50 on a separate cable that plugs into the loom at the back of the big isobus socket?

I think the plug you have for the vt50 will be unique and you'll either need an adaptor, or another cable with Deutsch connectors to go from the socket to your tractor screen (is it is indeed isobus compatible?)

I've also the vt30 control box for a wrapper, which is a different connector plug again

So much for reducing complexity 🤬

Yes, essentially it is number 2 on your diagram.
