Q1. At the front of the car (GLovebox) I have 3 separate cables on the loom, one that plugs into the ipod control unit (with grey clip) one orange one and a black on with a connector on the end. I understand the Black one with grey connector but where do the other 2 cables go exaclty?
The 3 way connector goes into the back of the COMAND unit (instead of the AUX cable)
The 2 way connector (with brown,brown/red) wires goes into the CANbus distributor which is fixed to the bottom of the aircon system, you can see it by looking up under the passenger footwell when the panel is removed. This is shown in the last picture in section (e) in my document.

Q2. At the boot (Trunk) end - I have a blue connector, a single core brown cable, an earthing cable and another black connector.
The wire in the blue connector and the single core brown cable are the CANbus (note they are twisted together). They replace the same colour wires in the AGW fibre connector, and the wires you remove go into the blue connector shell so they do not short out. Earth goes to the earthing point in the boot, the black power connector plugs into the back of that rear fusebox, directly behind the blue connector - as shown in the 1st picture in section (e).

"Remove the screw below the DVD navigation unit, then you can rotate the bracket with navigation unit forward so you can see the rear of the fusebox." I removed the single 10mm bolt and nothing moves, there is 3 bolts underneath the unit and 1 I can't even get a spanner on - any help is much appreciated.
You havent pulled well enough. The 10mm bolt is a single bolt directly below the navigation unit 'hole' on the left hand side (when looing straight at the unit). This allows the top half of the bracket to rotate on the 2 hinges you can see on the right hand side of the bracket.

Once you have removed the top half of the bracket it the pictures will make a lot more sense

If your car has dynamic seats, then the dynamic seat pump mechanism can get it the way a bit.
