Have you Identified what modules you have in the LHS of the Trunk?
If you have a module with a plug similar to the one below (but with thin flat terminals instead or round ones) then thats your radio module. And just like the picture, one of the smaller (white color) 10 pin plugs is not installed, this may be what your problem is as the CD Changer audio is routed through one of these plugs.
If this Black FAKRA plug is in the front centre console then your radio module is there, but check to see if both 10 pin plugs are installed. The picture shows the Auxillary Plug in place but the CD Changer 10 pin plug is not installed.

OK, thats the same connector on the back of the radio (in the dash) (with flat pins) The white 10 pin connector is connected to back of the HU in the dash

I will see if I can find something like that in the back hatch area

thanks for help !!

If the Fakra plug is in the front then the CD Changer connector should be in the front as well. If possible try chasing the 6 pin connector under the centre console where you plugged the DICE wiring loom into, to the front behind the Head Units in the dash. You may find the 10pin plug wrapped up in some of the anti-rattle wrap on the wiring loom

there are two 6 pin connectors in the front, behind the radio. one was plugged in, one was wrapped up. I tried both of them, but no difference, still no sound.

Any 10 pin white ones like the one in the Fakra plug in the picture? Thats the one you need to find. If you do, remove the blue locking pin on the back of the Fakra, insert the 10pin plug in to the spare place in the Fakra plug, re-insert the blue locking pin and re-insert the Fakra into the radio module. Hopefully this will get you the Audio.
