its near the column, all i had to do was disconnect the cable from the
amp. there is a din type plug and then a large multi plug, you may see
a round din plug going into the box, i left the amp in place, THIS IS
NOT USED ANYMORE as when i sold the car i put the volvo radio back in.
as you say in your msg, from the people at scosche, the procc. is
correct.
one end of the 'new' cable goes into the new radio and the other end
goes into the original radio cable, them into the cable you remove
from the amp. all connectors are fitted to the new cable, just plug it
in.
in the uk the cable cost approx £10.00 and the facia was about £15.00
from a company called halfords but most car acc. shops sell them
