Are you going to mount a female RJ-11 jack on the board? That would be ideal, this way you can take a phone cable, snip off one end, wire up power, ground, injector, and VSS, and just plug it in when ready.
I intended to do it the other way around, but I like your idea too. Do they sell phone cords with a female end?

Edit - Could anyone, without seeing my car, estimate how long a phone cord I would need to do like he said?
