OK, i'm making it my mission to fit anactive sub to my car which so far is defeating me! haha.
I've got a facelift model with the R400 radio and a Blaupunkt XLF200a active sub which has a high level input so i'm just going to tap the rear speaker wires but i need to find them. I've had the front panel and screen out tonight only to find i have different connections to what i've seen and i'm guessing what's in the middle of the below picture is the main head unit as there's only about 6 wires in the CD unit?
On the back of it, it has 3 connectors with lots of different colours and very thin wires.
soo, does anyone know the colours of the rear speaker wires or am I looking in the wrong place? Don't fancy taking the door cards off to find the wire colours like but if that's the way it's gotta be...
cheers all.

Update!
Finally got it all installed and working! The above pictures are the control module for the climate control!
So I've installed my Blaupunkt xlf200a active sub under the passenger seat. My sub had both high and low level inputs so i've decided to tap into the rear speaker wires instead of using a line converter.
The sub comes with it's own wiring loom which has 1 connector and all the wire are in that for quick and easy removal. I've gone for the least destructive option as i'm the type of guy that will royally screw something up if it can be screwed up! haha
I've run the cables under the left seat rail, the speaker wires then run along the plastic floor/door trim to the front, up behind the glove box, through the centre console behind the ash tray and then into the green connector on the radio control unit behind the drivers mini glove box. i've gone for the overly crude method of just poking the wires into the pins and taped them up!
I run the power cables to the rear fuse box and used the live pin in the big empty space (i'm still to install a fuse in it though). Again, i poked the wires up behind the plastic floor trim, up beside the seat then passed it behind the boot wall to the fuse box. i have grounded it on the bolt that holds the fuse box in place. probably not the best place but i didn't want to rip the car to bits.
I will post pics etc tomorrow when I can get some in better light!
