Need to source a MID connector for Business CD

[squeasel]

Prior I wrote about my troubles with the MID on our Business CD stereo (see http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-thoughts.html if interested). It appears that something has gone wrong with the connector from the wires to the MID. An independent shop tested the MID ... that connector is good. The trouble seems to be on my "wire" side. Does anyone have a source for a new connector? When I check REALOEM I was not able to find it as a separate item but could have been mistaken. Much thanks in advance.

A wreckers yard might be the easiest but here's the part numbers: -

Back shell/cover...


BMW 61138365906
(AMP 9-963615)

Insert/pin carrier...


BMW 61131383736
(AMP 929682-2)

Pretty sure that's the correct connector.

As for finding a new one..

As it's a mechanical item, it should be repairable. The pins can be removed from the carrier and replace with new pins, if it's a damaged pin that is causing your issue.

Depending on the size of wire the pins are either: -

BMW 61130005197 (for 0.2- 0.5mm² wire)

BMW 61130006663 (for 0.75mm² wire)

@wpoll ... Much thanks for the specific information. I will guess that I need just the insert/pin carrier (minimum) but will take what I can get. A quick parts search shows very limited availability (currently none). The wrecker seems good. I also note that there is an X5 down the street that is often unlocked over night. Could be a source, LOL!

The final result is that the pin connector is fine but the shell seems to have failed. I have attached the pin connector to the MID pins and secured with duct tape. Seems low end but haven't been able to source a new connector.

@wpoll ... much thanks for all your help.
