Alright, I used brute force and got the panels of. Now there is another
problem:

The wires, which are present and have the same colors as on the cable
connecting to the head unit, do not work: There is no connection
between the end in the door and the end on the radio.

Somewhere along the wire, it is disconnected. Where is this place, and
how do I connect them?

If the wires are connected to a funny connector, then you can get an adapter
to give straight red and black wires. Ask Halfords for the Peugeot 206
speaker adapter, look in their book and see if the pic is the same.

I'm not taking my speakers out now, or I would be able to tell you which is
+ve.

You can't do anything wit the radio in another car.
The radio exchanges a code with the ECU. If the code doesn't match, than the
radio gives an annoying 'beep' every 10 seconds I think. So, if you put the
radio in your Pontiac, it will play, but it wil beep too.

Well that would have been nice, but I cut the wires and welded them.
My problem is another one though: I the wires are disconnected
somewhere along the line. The autodealer even told me so. I'm heading
out there to get et connected. I'll let you know what happens.

Alright, I succeeded:

My model may be specific for the Danish market (C3 1.4Hdi Prestige).
It only has speakers in the front.

To install speakers in the back doors you have to remove the panel
first, and you do that by pulling of the window-handle and seperatin
the door handle with a screwdriver revealing two screws.
After undoing the two screws you can pull off the panel with a littl
force (it is easiest from the buttom) don't worry about breakin
anything, it is sturdy.

You will find that wires are installed, but they are only carrie
through to the rubber tube running from the door to the chassis.
You can disconnect the rubber tube and find the ends.

On the iso-connector for the radio, wires are ALSO connected, but the
end somewhere I can't find.
Cut the wires and weld the new cable on.
It is easy to draw the wire under the mat, and the panels under th
front door are easily removed.
With a little more welding you should be on your way.

The speakers themselves cannot be installed directly into the door, bu
it was easy to make a frame for them.
There is room for a 6" speaker and probably larger.

Let me know if you (anyone) need any help.

I also installed a GPS-unit for my PocketPC under the front panels i
anybody are interested:
