    "Prewired for Telephone" ...but where?

    I'm struggling to find the SES harness in my rear cargo area. I've had a BlueBus for a couple years now, and am finally getting around to using the hands free calling capability. Installing the microphone in the roof was a breeze - I mean, it plugged into SOMETHING, so the SES connector has got to be back there somewhere. Plus I have the "Prewired for Telephone" label in my cargo area. So before I go disassembling all the trim around my wheel arch (a total PITA, I hear), can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Although my '99 model doesn't have SES, I'd imagine the SES connector is located close to the DB25 telephone connector. The DB25 telephone connector is located in front of the cargo area, underneath the floor, directly behind the rear seats. Remove the cargo hold-down anchors and remove the center retaining screw to release. The cargo floor needs to be removed first.

    Although not very revealing of the location, here's a photo of a Bluetooth TCU installation in my wagon:
