No luck so far, and I've cricked my neck now !

New bluetooth option?

You've pulled the carpet away so you can have a good look with a torch?
Also, some people found theirs quite high, held with tape.
Yep, carpet pulled back. I'll give it a couple of days till my neck is better and have another go. I didn't put the carpet back properly. Fingers crossed !
Sweary words !! I don't if I'm looking in the wrong place but I can't find any sign of a multipin connector on the bulkhead !
With the carpet peeled back/up I can see the rectangular hole that goes to the back of the panel where I assume the cd changer would live. There's also something on the left hand side of the bulkhead that looks to have an aerial type cable. This is getting to me !

Does your car have DSP? Worth sticking a picture here, possibly a coax connector.
[attachment=0]IMG_0013.That's what I've got. I can't think what DSP is ! The second photo has the bit with the coax cable
Hmm, sorry I'm not being much help and I managed to confuse myself when I fitted the Bluetooth adapter - was basically expecting to find an empty coax connector as a) I had CD changer pre wired but no changer, b) mine was a 2003 so early and c) I had the fancy DSP (digital signal processing) equaliser options like 'Jazz', 'Church' available.
But... when checking in the boot I found the 6+3 connector and not the coax connector:
Which makes life a lot easier, so I didn't bother thinking about it any more. This thread gives sone more info:

But, what I can't see in your pics (and apologies if it is there) is an *empty* connector (either 6+3 or coax) which you would expect to find if prewired for a changer!
At the risk of sounding condescending, have you had a good root around all of the inside of that cavity with your hands? Or shove your phone in a take a video?
It's conceivable someone has played with the wiring before I suppose.

Many thanks for your help. I really am most grateful 
I've stuck my hand in the cavity and there's nothing loose. I did notice that , from the inside, one of the plastic tray things is loose, so maybe someone has been in before me. I'll try the phone video thing next

A big £6.99 from eBay!
I'll need to arrange a power supply in the glove box, but that should be easy by comparison!
Thanks again for the advice !
