Key Specifications

Why Multimedia Connectors Fail

40-pin infotainment connectors are subject to repeated plug/unplug cycles during head unit replacement, vibration from the dashboard, and heat from the display backlight. Terminal oxidation or housing damage causes intermittent screen blackouts, audio dropouts, camera signal loss, or complete infotainment unit failure. Replacing the connector restores full multimedia system function.

Variant Guide

• Male – Bare male housing with terminals
• Male 15CM – Male connector with 15cm pre-wired leads
• Female – Bare female housing with terminals
• Female 15CM – Female connector with 15cm pre-wired leads
• Male and Female 20CM – Matched pair with 20cm leads for complete harness repair

Installation Steps

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery
2. Remove the center console trim and infotainment unit
3. Release the locking tab and unplug the original 40-pin connector
4. Transfer terminals to the new housing or splice in the pre-wired variant
5. Reinstall the head unit and verify all multimedia functions (screen, audio, camera, navigation)
