So, i hope this isn't too amatuer. Basically, i wanted to fit a new head unit to my s-reg corsa breeze. Now, after a bit of rooting around, I have a feeling that it is already wired up for rear speakers, but doesn't have any. So, I put 2 rear speakers in, but am now having trouble finding out how to wire them in.

Is the wiring already in place for the rears? Do I need to take the plastic side panel in the boot off? I couldnt' get it off today because it required a torx screwdriver and I didn't have the correct size. Any help/advice is much appreciated.

Also, is there any way to connect the new head unit up so that I can keep the display on the dash working? I know that the iso connector in the car has 3 levels the top being the one that hooks it up to the dash. is there any way to keep this active?

thanks for looking.

I kno the speaker wire is layed there somewhere but I'm not sure where exactly. I wud imagine it wud be pretty close to where speakers wud be

well, there are a whole bunch of wires bundled together. I figure that some of these will be for rear speakers, since the higher spec models have rear speakers. I guess I'll just get a torx screwdriver and take the side panels in the boot off then I'll have a much better idea.

Cheers.
