It's the wires that plug into the vam. nothing magical, thats it. Find it in 2 ways, find the specific jack that plugs into the vam, or using all the sites you've reviewed, look for the wire colors specified. If you just have wiring harnesses, and they aren't in a car any longer, this is real easy to do. I've done it quite a few times now.

Just following you around 140

J/K I was going to say if you he finds a donor car to make sure he cuts enough wire off with the pig tail ( VAM connector) so when he solders it on he will have plenty to mess around with.
