Vauxhall is the obvious place, but they are quite expensive.
Units are regularly put up for some on the familiar auction site. Have seen a couple on the classified section of this site recently too.
Install is quite easy. Some models seem to have the wiring already there and its just a case of plugging them into the back of the lighter, which should neatly slot into your ash tray. If yours doesnt, like mine didnt, there's just a couple of 12v connection's and a ground connection you gotta make. Easy peasy.

Mute and the other one is probably radio mute for a phone kit and remote trigger for amps etc.
There is perminent and ignition switched live available in the radio loom if you don't have the plug in your car.

Have a good look, especically up behind the metal pole there.
If not, tap of the radio wires. Yellow is +12 Ignition Live, Black is earth normally. I think :s
