Radio questions

What is the Radio Interface Module, what does it do?
And what does the VSS when it's connected to the radio?
There's no radio in my Scorp, I have the cables and panel for an non Ford radio but the VSS and RIM will not be connected.
I don't know if I should buy a Ford radio or put in the Kenwood I already have.

the Vss will only be for the automatic volume controll feature, (the faster you go or more noise in the cabin the radio will increase or decrease in volume)
i think the RIM is the steering columb controll (small yellow plug)
this can be made to work with the kenwood radio you have but you'll need to buy a couple of interface moduals from a audio shop

Hmmm,
I can buy a 5000 with steering control, which is not there in my car, but
I have the yellow plug hanging behind the radio.
The previous owner fitted another steering wheel in the car, so there should be a loose plug behind the steering wheel? Also yellow maybe?

Fitted the Ford radio with column control today.
The column plug was where it should be.... in the column 
The RIM wasn't in my car, luckily I got it with the radio.
After a long search I found the RIM plug nicely tied up behind the gauges in the dashboard 
Finally there's music in the car
