Has any body managed to locate a source for the 3 plugs that fit into the back of the sat nav unit allowing input of tv/dvd / reversing cam / companion cam?

Woodman is probably your best bet, or grommet. Not sure either post here anymore. Grommet is from the US and Woodman from the UK DS3 TDV6 HSE

The inside bit is the SMB part .Basically a small coax connecter (these can be purchased quite easily).Its the outer housing thats the problem (fakra).They are only used in the automotive industry.
I have checked all the usual ones ..RS , MAPLINS etc. JAVA BLACK SE , MANUAL , PRIVACY GLASS , EBONY LEATHER , COLOUR CODED PARTS , SIDE PROTECTION TUBES , HIDDEN WINCH (12000 LBS) , 19" HSE WHEELS.

Just waiting for a reply from someone else...
Problem with these connectors is that its mostly commercial companys selling them on to automotive companys..they don't wanna know if i just want a handfull for private use.

Wiggs?
Did you get any look with the connectors?
Probably having some Rear screens installed so it would be nice while not driving (of course!) to display on the front screen.

Don't know if this is repeat information (my apologies if it is) but this page looks interesting:
http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/fakrasmb.asp
Note from Wiggs original picture, that each of these has a different 'key' to prevent misconnection. Look at the letter I, F and E at the top left of each socket on the board; these seem to match the key codes under the 'Single Plugs' section of the amphenol site...or is it a socket; not a single high-res picture front on to tell which way is which.

Code Z does indeed look like a winner! Figures that the digikey site has better info than the manaufactures site 
I'll register my interest in 5 plugs towards a bulk buy... Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
