Need Help with Ribbon Wire

gbpackersfan11 · 08-24-2013, 07:26 PM

Anybody know how to fix ribbon wire or where to buy it. It's the ribbon wire that is connected to the back of the radio unit. It has become damaged and I don't want to pay for 1700 for a new one from BMW.

More pictures please
If you can find the proper size cable and connectors you can make one.
Or find and electronic shop that will make one for you .
Some place like Digikey might stock the raw materials.

All the pictures pretty much look the same. It's very small, smaller then a dime.

If you can tell all the connections are bent or broken.
