cdx should have the cd changer cable.  It should be around the cubby hole in the boot, drivers side.

Thnaks for your replies i have looked everywhere in that location the only wires that i can see are 1 large wire going up and into the rear window area behind the uper part of the rear seats and some coming from a black unit just back from where the filler pipe is heading to the number plate area nothing that looks right.
but at the fascia end i have all the right wires and my info screen shows the radio channels and when i go to the cd it says not conected.
please can you adv the best way to over come this i.e new cable where to get one from and the best way to fit .
i live in devon near crediton so if any member is close by and fancies making a few quid to help me out that will be ok to.
Thanks
Tony (just listening to some old tapes lol)

Yup, thats missing ;D

might find it where it comes through between seat and boot, but if its been cut, may be easier to replace loom from drivers footwell...

Check the drivers foot well, see if its been removed right back to there.

The switched radio feed is in that connector to support the bose amp but, the feed fo the aerial amp is not in that loom, it runs down the other side.

Somebody has been fitting an amp or chav box


Remove the seat back side, and photo that (remove bench, then you'll see a tab that holds seat back side in place - bend this, then lift the side out)

Don't join them all together!

Seriously if you are looking for connectors/plugs ask on here under parts wanted - lots of people are breaking omegas and would supply a length of loom cheaply.
