Upgrading MkIV golf stereo - Red Robbo
I have recently bought a Mk IV golf and wish to upgrade the std stereo and also fit some rear speakers.

Having just removed the rear door panels, I couldn't find the speaker connectors. I was surprised at this as I have added rear speakers on a number of my previous cars and they have always had cabling and connectors even when the rear speakers themselves were not present.

Is this a feature of Golfs or I am just not looking hard enough?

If its the basic model then no cable will be present as they didn't bother to take the cable that far (cost cutting???)
The cables go only so far from the iso connector find the path of the cabes from the block and trace the correctly coloured wires and split off of them to the back speaker mounts. You will find the colour reference in a haynes manual.
