I think you'll find that they are in the boot. On the left hand side right up against the rear seats you will see a plastic screw. Undo this and a 'box' will come down. This contains the radio unit and the amp. Thats as far as I got for the investigation part.

I have been considering changing the radio and CD to a more up-to-date version. Can you give me some details as to how you got the old one out. Specifically, the trimming around the original

Hope this helps

Thanks

wiring of the radio e.t.c

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your reply... You are correct about the amp and the radio sender unit being behind the rear left seat.... Unfortunatley i got that far too but i dont know what wires conects to the speakers so i am still stuck!

As for insatlling a new head unit, this is very simple. First af all, you need to un clip the plastic facia on the stereo it self. Once you have removed this facia there will be a small screw on either side of the stereo which you need to open, you will need a small alan key for this. And finally once you have opened this screws you should be able to pull the stereo out! no need for removing any trims! if you need more info let me know!

i hope this is helpful...

regards,

I think its the block with the white plug that comes out of the amp. As a basic rule it will be the group of wires that have coloured pairs. i.e. purple and purple/black line, green and green/red line. These pair up the positive and negative for each speaker. The difficulty is working out which pair go to which speaker. Taking the speaker out doesn't always help as there may be cross-over looms.

I'll have a look tonight to see if I have any further documentation on the radio

Thanks
