Does anyone know a source for these connectors and their pin-insertion tools?



I've found a good iPod adapter (Axxess Wire-Tunes) that allows the RAZ radio to control the iPod, and also display the song title, artist name, and album name. It has a 10-pin connector that plugs into the CD-changer port on the back of the radio.



I also have the Sirius receiver that plugs into that same port--obviously they can't both plug in at the same time. Not to worry, this diagram shows the multiplexer and cables to hook up both the Sirius receiver and CD-changer (or iPod pretending to be a CD-changer).



The only problem is the iPod adapter comes with the 10-pin connector for the back of the radio, and it needs a 12-pin connector to plug into the multiplexer. I have all the parts on hand now, including a sacrificial cable I can cut the 12-pin connector end off of and splice onto the adpter cable in place of the provided 10-pin connector. Between another pin-out diagram on the WJ Jeeps site, and the one on the back of the multiplexer, I know which wires to reassign where between the two connectors.



My question is, in order to have a cleaner installation, does anyone know a source for these connectors and (especially) the proper tool to remove the pins from the 10-pin connector and insert them into the sacrificed (or a new) 12-pin connector?



Any help appreciated!

I have a logjam box to connect my xm receiver to my stereo. Works fabulously. It goes where the external cd changer would connect, and the radio displays cd 1 track 1 . :cool:

Thanks, Jon--there is some pretty interesting stuff there. Unfortunately, I didn't find the connectors, and the only pin extraction tools I found appear to be for connectors with round pins.



Still looking...
