Becasue I struggled to find any info on it in one place I thought that I would jot down what I did to fit the amp onto the standard head unit.
First thing first is the earth, the standard place for this is to put it onto the little bolt that holds down the seatbelt clips. Takes a bit of effort to undo but aslong as you have a ring connector to slide over the bolt it works perfectly and wont come loose.
Next is the power cable.. Easiest way to do this is to thread the power cable from the battery through a grommet on the passenger side of the bonnet.. This leads into a small section and onto another grommet. Push through that one and you should be in the car... Remove the top section of the glove box and feel along the METAL of the car until you find the wire. Pull it through and thread it back to the boot.
Now for the tricky part..
As you are going the route of not forking out for a dodgy looking aftermarket unit you will need to be confident with wires and electronics.

If you look at post 11 it shows what all the pins and wires are for. ...
Block C should be clear on your HU.
If you connect your remote wire to pin 6 in block C1 your remote cable is done and your amp will turn on and off with the radio.
Next thing is the RCA. I personally connected up a LOC into the LR+ and LR- wires then ran my RCA from there as there is quite alot of space behind the radio to hide excess wiring and the LOC box.
Once this is all connected wire up the amp. Adjust the gain and away you go.
