All the wires you need are behind the glovebox area.
Locking wires are yellow/blue and green/blue, and can be intercepted where they go behind the passenger speaker trim panel, on their way to the passenger door.
I've posted the full details for connecting remote locking and alarms several times, so use the forum search function.

Red/yellow (fuse #28)wire from the accessories socket is the usual one to power an alarm/remote locking unit from, simply because it's accessible and in the area.
