Post Ribbon cable and connector for the CIC unit and Faceplate

Does anyone know the part number and/or where to purchase a replacement cable to connect the E60 faceplate to the E60 CIC unit?

My faceplate does not light up and i suspect that its the connector since it looks to be chipped. I added some photos.

Thank you in advance for your help!

-Mike

You could try Mouser, Digi-Key or McMaster Carr.

That part isn't available anywhere, My CIC broke the other side connector off of the faceplate(solder joints) and gettings any of those parts has been impossible; I just bought another CIC

Thank you for the heads-up. Everything works on my CIC except the back-lights on the faceplate. I will look for a CIC parts unit with a good cable and swap the parts. It would be too much trouble to recode a different CIC to my car.

I absolutely understand that, I'll be swapping mine out in the fall(Oct/Nov). If you are still in need of one then PM me and maybe we can work out something with my spare one
