I wouldn't of thought you have the wiring there. Think it depends on head unit and I may be wrong but think it would only be hse's that had it. Sure someone will come along with more info soon. Also I'm sure I read that even if you purchased the correct loom it still needs enabling via the ecu.

It doesn't need enabling.
The loom may end in the passenger footwell, by the bonnet pull

Controls fitted and worked after about 2 minutes ???
I started the car turned on the radio plugged in my headphone and nothing.......then I could hear the radio faint at first then load, all after about 2 minutes.
Now I can listen to radio, cd or aux and in the back they can listen to the same or something else great....no programing needed and the plug was as described strapped to the loom under the window on top of the wheel arch with the end wrapped on foam, you need to cut the straps so you can pull it back so it reaches the control unit.....

Well done
I have this in mine but have never tried them. I assumed the headphone thingy's in the back was just for rear seat occupants to listen to whatever is being played on the head unit in the front if the people in the front didn't want the volume up. So how can you listen to something other than what's being played from head unit?

If you press the mode button it will change the input, so if I'm listening to thr cd in the front they can select radio in the back and change channel as well.

So correct me if I am wrong you just fit the controls in the back doors in place of the standard window buttons and it all worked straight out of the box so to speak?
Also have you got a link to the parts you used please?Stephen

Naaaa not in the doors in the boot the ones by the cupholder in the back.
The wiring is part of the standard loom but the doors are a bit hit and miss as the wiring might not be there.
My children just plug into the sockets in the boot as its just behind the headrest. The head phones they use are either the bud type that go in a phone or the over ear type
any recommendations on where to get this/these ? be very handy if I can ever persuade rest of family to come with me for another mad race across Europe gentle road trip to Southern Italy..
