Rear speaker wiring problem

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I am looking to install rear door speakers into my 2010 zetec.
I have found the wires in the pillar but have not been able to find any wires in the door itself. Is there a door wiring harness that i will need.
Also is there anyone on here from the derbyshire / south yorkshire area that has an IDS?

Where are the plugs in the door pillar? I have it stripped down now and can't see any?
I have also tried just connecting some speaker wire to the front speaker and using this to power the rears but they won't work??

if you connect the rear speakers to the front they should work fine , to run them properly off the loom in the pillar you first need to get the rear speakers activated by somebody who has the correct software , i bought a haynes manual and that gives the colours of the rear speaker cables and i made my own loom.
if you have no fader option on your radio settings then they are not activated.

Hi,
I went to my local dealer to get some other work done, But while they had it I asked them to activate the rear speakers for me.
They told me it couldnt be done because I would need a module for the stereo. Is this true?
