I have a hole for it with a delete piecce of rubber in the dash, and I have purchased an original off e-bay. I would like to have a power source for my XM radio, and so forth. Could someone please "walk me through the process"? Any information such as color of wires etc would be appreciated or if you have some photo's that would be cool as well. I tried the "search" feature to no avail. I have a soldering iron, and heat gun with shrink wrap. This will be my first journey into the realm of electricity. Thanks guys & gals
