Woodman is probably your best bet, or grommet. Not sure either post here anymore. Grommet is from the US and Woodman from the UKDS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

The inside bit is the SMB part .Basically a small coax connecter (these can be purchased quite easily).Its the outer housing thats the problem (fakra).They are only used in the automotive industry.
I have checked all the usual ones ..RS , MAPLINS etc.G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

If you have to order a minimum, and it helps out cost wise, I'm happy to take a few off your hands. Let me know.D3 HSE V8...

Bump!
Wiggs?
Did you get any look with the connectors?
Probably having some Rear screens installed so it would be nice while not driving (of course!) to display on the front screen.

Note from Wiggs original picture, that each of these has a different 'key' to prevent misconnection. Look at the letter I, F and E at the top left of each socket on the board; these seem to match the key codes under the 'Single Plugs' section of the amphenol site...or is it a socket; not a single high-res picture front on to tell which way is which.

Transgenic tomato anyone?

If there's a big interest it might be worth buying £100 worth (to save the postage and handling charges) and then selling the remaining stock through the D3 shop

And code "Z" appears to be a universal fit

Code Z does indeed look like a winner! Figures that the digikey site has better info than the manaufactures site
I'll register my interest in 5 plugs towards a bulk buy...Dr. Ian Malcolm:
