i need to do this aswell, if the wires are there i would like to use the unused fag lighter ones vaux have provided instead of using headunit wires, how do i know which ones are the fag lighter wires?

it is there i found it!!

its simple enough to find, black and brown wires if i remember.
remove the ask tray (four screws) and you'll be left looking at the underneath of the stereo. get your fingers low and behind this and you'll feel some wires, thats wot you're looking for...thats how i found them!

i wired up this switch from the wires


which i use for my NEONs

I bought one from halfrauds i think, and i just asked the guy to fit it when I had my MOT.

Works a treat, apart from the spark shower i got the other day.... serves me right for poking it with a screwdriver.
