Correct, pin 6 is unused.

Clarification; it appears that pin 6 is unused in the later, short connection cable (MY 2000 chassis Y3065548- and later, P/N 400 129 243) for cars "PRE-CDC" where the connectors for the extra harness are at the rear wheel arch.

In earlier MY1999 - MY2000 up to chassis -Y3065547) there is less cabling already included and the connectors are back by the A-Pillar with different housings and/or pinouts, and a longer cable is in the kit (400 111 720). In the 6-way connector by the A-pillar, pin 4 is unused, instead of pin 6.

Also note the green and white CAN wires are on pins 1 and 2 of the 2-way connector respectively, which is a different style to the later cars, and the opposite pin numbers. These pinouts are shown correctly in the 1999 version of the WIS.

For the DIY version of the earlier "long" connection cable, see this thread.
