I may just have to do that although I was hoping to not need it.
According to Nokia's website the CK7W supports and 'audio through the speakers' configuration. I know that I can use an autoleads adapter to do this, and it would sit between the stereo and the car's loom.
My thinking is that surely the autoleads adapter will do pretty much what I was going to do.

No

You didnt read the last post didja?

Yup

Well okay then!

I have ordered one now.

Oh dear.

Carry a fire extinguisher.

You will also notice that the speaker cones don't last too well, due to barbaric way those shit autoleads adapters switch via relays.

I would fit the Nokia speaker, or replace the nasty stereo with one that has the required input.

Hmmm that bad huh?

I will bear that in mind.  Unfortunately the one I found was quite literally the only one I could find so not alot of room for picking a better quality item.

In the mean time I'll get a carpass ordered so I can get the original head unit back in.

Thanks for the brutally honest opinion!

I took your advice and refitted the original stereo, then wired the CK-7W into the plug behind the glovebox.  As my car had an old Ericsson handset in it when I bought it I was able to cut the wiring off of the old unit and splice it to the Nokia.
The only downside is that it has no switched 12v input but that's not essential anyway so I'll address that at a later date if it causes any problems.  Of course the upside is that if I want to remove it I can just unplug it rather that having to cut it out.

Thanks again.

There should be a W contact there Murph

(W contact on Omega (its a really old term, and slightly different on modern cars) is a wire that goes 12v when ign switched on, and goes off when the key is removed (not when just switched back to Off from I or II))

I'm sure there is, but as the Ericsson didnt use it I dont have a wire from the plug to connect to.

Once I'm a little more mobile I'll get under there and splice into the wire behind the plug.
