Found this on the net a while back don't know if its of any use?

300TDI Discovery Stereo Wiring

wire colour chart:

B=BLACK.
P=PURPLE.
G=GREEN.
R=RED.
K=PINK.
S=GREY,
L=LIGHT.
U=BLUE.
N=BROWN.
W=WHITE.
O=ORANGE.
Y=YELLOW

L denotes lighter colour i.e. LG indicates light green as opposed to G = green being a darker colour.
 
Left front speaker +(positive) BW = black with White tracer
Left front speaker - (negative)BN = black with Brown tracer
Right front speaker +(positive) BK = Black with PINK tracer
Right front speaker - (negative)BR = Black with Red tracer
Left rear speaker + (positive) BY = Black with Yellow tracer
Left rear speaker - (negative)BO =Black with Orange tracer
Right rear speaker +(positive) BG = Black withGreen tracer Right rear speaker -(Negative) BU = Black with Blue tracer

SUB was originally in its own connector two wires RED and BLACK with a shield around it and black sheath over outside.
I connected mine to a phono jack plug and plugged into an amp out socket on the back of my head unit
Red to centre pin
BLACK to the outer you need to ground the shield to the head unit casing.
Sub is powered by its own amp which is built in to the tailgate and is powered from the ignition circuit so will switch on and off with the key at the first stage.
 
You can test the speakers by touching the relevent pos and neg wire to a little 9 volt battery the speaker will make a pop sound lets you know the wires you have are going to the speaker you want.

I fitted a new car kit at the weekend and if memory serves me correctly the mute wire connects to pin7 of the 8-pin ISO plug - should be coloured light green & orange.

This is based on what I removed from the car before fitting the new kit. The previous owner had installed a Nokia 6310 kit and put a relay into that line to effect mute. With my new Ericsson kit I had to remove his relay and rejoin the wire in pin7 ~ the SE kit has a module which plugs into the vehicle wiring harness and handles all the functions. Really neat but a bar-steward to get it all back in behind the radio  :?

Hope this helps.
Regards
