Evening people.
Recently acquired a G31 520d xdrive from which the head unit had been stolen. Not only that but the scallys had chopped off all the connectors.
I’ve obtained a replacement HU from a slightly later car but I’m struggling with the connectors. I’ve tried a couple of local auto electricians but they don’t seem to keen to get involved
Does anyone know of a U.K. supplier of the FAKRA rf and high speed data connectors to reterminate the wires, and or failing that an expert who can re terminate the unit and virginise / recode the HU.
btw I’m in the North East, but don’t mind travelling to the Midlands etc if anyone’s got any particular recommendations.
thanks I’m advance

Yes, thanks for that, I’ve had stuff from realOEM before, but I thought the European site had stopped sending stuf to the UK. Anyway, they don’t list the four pin High Speed Data connectors. I was hoping someone might know of some one like Farnells or RS which might keep them.

The LVDS is a simple one as you can just buy the small section that goes from head unit to display.
The 4 pin HSD connectors might be harder to get have a look at this for codes to the specific colours you are after as it may make searching easier.
I suspect the solution will be to purchase replacement leads rather than the plugs though.
