quick release electrics

Just about to mount my etb digidash2 on the back of my steering wheel which is removeable, can anyone recommend a quick release cable fitting I can use on the back of the dash so I can remove it along with my wheel ?

seen a few on various cars but cant track down what i`m after.

not doing it myself, but that curly wire (telephone type stuff) should sort that out

I've got 2 buttons in the removable steering wheel (shift up / down).
I'm using telephone curly cable and a connector from something audio (4 connectors' jack with a nut on top).

I can take a pic if you want...
