Regarding the headset, maybe that wire is for 12V. I already sealed the end so I don't want to check it and had run prior wires to the module I mention. My headset does not use a 6 pin connector.
The Skyview system does not have an installed serial port extension under the instrument panel or in the tunnel. There are several serial ports available on the D-1000 for different purposes.
The back of the D-1000 has some standard USB ports - inconvenient to get at! So the wiring harness includes a USB port that is installed in the panel base facing downward. This is the port I am referring to. Vans provided me with pinout info and I need to now check that physical port to see if maybe a wire is disconnected inside it. Note that a little USB extender cable (male to female) could be run it from one of those ports on the back of the D-1000 over to the mapbox or out through that little panel hole.
See the prior post earlier in this thread about getting (or not!) flight and engine data out of the D-1000! Page 5, post title "NEW SKYVIEW VERSION 3.3"

Revisions posted 03-20
On Vans site 3 revisions to the Skyview are posted but one of them to me didn't fit, 31B-21. I have no other 31B plans section so page 21 didn't fit. However, 42C-19 in the AHRS install page, page 20 is left blank, and since this revision discribes the wiring to the d-sub which plugs into the AHRS I think this is where it should be.
Other opinions? Maybe I'm way off base.

Remember, what we guys doing the Skyview CONVERSION are doing is also going to have to be incorporated by others not as far along in the build. They get different harnesses than we got and won't be doing things like removing wires like we are. That means revising other parts of the plans set with Skyview rather than D-180 information - parts that we have completed but others have not. This 31B-21 seems to be a revision that does that for people getting a newer finish kit with different, Skyview harnesses.

Thanks again Bill. With any of the revisions I wish there was more information about the application and what the change is.
Just me maybe but when these revisions are posted it seems like a "hunt" to figure out what changed. Oh, well.....keeping after it!

Oh say it ain't so!
Every revision that Vans post is like that. This complaint has be voiced Over and over again.  Maybe some one out there will bring this to their attention at the next brainstorming session.

Regarding the USB PORT beneath the panel not working, it turns out that the plug itself was defective. All of the wiring was correct. Steinair is sending me a new one and butt splices so - no problem!
The symptoms were that the memory stick would work fine in the other ports on back of the D-1000. In the below panel port the stick would light up but not be recognized. Bad contact to the pins, apparently.
I may run a little USB extender cable (male to female) from one of those back-of-the-D1000 ports over into the map box. I have one sitting around doing nothing.

Skyview Avionics Received!
I plan to move the USB jack from the bottom to one of the front panels where it is more convenient to plug in a memory stick.
I hope this doesn't get me in trouble with the LSA certification police....

Our issue : The P156 and P157 wires that power the panel had voltage, but the fuses had none. Removal and inspection revealed that two pins had not been soldered to the circuit board....very important ones, the master relay pins.
We went thru troubleshooting including battery charge, grounding and checking wires and plugs in general before it was located. Van's is sending a new unit.
