He is just selling wires that plug into the yellow plug, not it’s mate.

Aha, I get it now.

Wires with $0.50 connectors on the ends, or just wires?

If it’s just pigtails with contacts, they can be robbed
from other connectors. Even some car audio adapter
sets. Just snag a Metra set and de-pin what you need.

If someone can figure out who makes these sockets for Volvo we can buy this socket

I have an entire wiring harness stripped out of the 1998 , maybe one of these plugs will fit.

Update - this morning I tried fitting in some male terminals into the accessory plug and indeed the spacing and depth are all 'standard' - so you could cut one from a junkyard and use it to attach to the plug, documenting the pigtail color changes of course.

The accessory plug is and 8 pin, 2x4 in the standard Tetris configuration, with one column offset by one block

I hate to be an idiot, but it is Monday morning. Where exactly is that yellow connector found ? I'd like to use it for my radar detector.
