Does anybody know where to get the plugs BMW uses for the Navigation, combox, etc. ? What are the plugs called anyway and who makes them?

boy as much as I love doing things myself this one looks like at times you might just wanna give up. If I ever do get the cic retrofit I'm glad I live in nyc near one of patryk's install centers in jersey. I think I just want to pay and play.

Thanks! I just ordered cables from them. How long should I expect my order to arrive?

As frustrating it may seem, I'm actually enjoying the "adventure" I'm finding out a lot more about my car and how I would go about doing future mods on it. Part of the DIY process i the fun and challenge.
