Hey Josh you were right. You were correct that the glove box does not need to be removed although it's a little tight for working space.The install does take about 15 to 20 minutes except for a few things. Here's my list of exceptions.

#1 Since i didn't have a CD Changer there was no bracket to tie to interface to so I had to be creative and use some 1-1/2 wide velcro to attach to the top of the fuse block on the right hand side. That took 15 mins by itself.

#2 The powercord and ground were found and of course can be easly attached to the interface.

#3 Here where it got tricky. The most Bus fiber optic cables are not attached to the connector with the power and ground. Why? It appears that just like the voice module if there is no device attached (CD Changer) that cable forms a loop and that loop needs to be opened and both ends of that cable attached to the connector when a device is introduced.

#4 What did I do?? Nothing. I managed to get the cover off the splice connector that loops the Fiber optic cable only to brake it. ( Just a broken cover the cable is fine) And what did i find? Another tube which joins the cable and no evidence that it can be easly seperated. So I need more information.

#5 Maybe that cable isn't the cable i'm looking for but if it isn't then there needs to be some instruction as to how to install the fiber optics cable and where it is. There is a connector which is included in the interface box for the in and out of the most bus cable which has a retainer clip. That connector goes inside the connector that holds the power and ground and i'm guessing that retainer clip holds the cable inside the connector. When they are all combined the whole thing needs to be taped into one bundle of wires and it looks like yours does when it's finished. Perhaps you saw those cables. Are they light green? Well anyway the interface will not be installed until I figure out this last step. If i do complete the last step i'm hoping reprogramming will not be necessary.
