Its a bit more challenging, as there is no wiring from HU to kick panel in your car. The HU has to be replaced as tunnie says. Once you have these 2 items in place, then you just need a 'bose kit' for saloon/estate (as appropriate), which many of the breakers here sell.

Yes been there with Janes CD estate! Well worth it in the end though, if you are OK using a soldering iron and have some patience it isn't too bad.
