Finding automotive connector

Hope this is the correct part of this forum  ;D

Working on a add-in to a range of car-modells, but need to find a connector to
one of the control modules in the car so what we can make a kit that the user can just plug the original
wiring into without having to cut wires or stuff like that (in this case, we need to capture some LINbus packages and handle them our self)

I've found the female connector (Aptiv, modelnumber 13842310), but cannot find the male one.
Contacted the company that has the female one, but they did not have a male version.

Here is a link to the product page at Aptiv:

I don't mind if we have to order male from other manufacture.
If someone also know what kind of crimp connectors they use, then that would also be great.

Thanks in advance

Not your solution but a good starting place:

Not all automotive connectors have the mating part available.
Especially when the mating part is part of the control units housing.
There is really not need for the manufacturer to make this connector.

So, sometimes it can be difficult to impossible to find one.
I am not sure in your case.

This is true. Many would-be entrepreneurs have desired to simply purchase ECU housing connectors. Many have failed.

Unless you have a key to the factory, or are the SCM manager for the car company, you are going to have to create your own connectors - molds and all.

Bench single-shot and/or casting might be an economical alternative.

Thanks for the replies.

So I've seen this connector in more than one car part on different models from same manufacture (Volvo, S40n, C30 and V50 has it in the ICM, some XC/V70 from around 2007-2012 has it in the dashboard).
They are pcb mounted, and that would be fine for me.

I've also seen that Bluepower has a cable-kit for their Android head-unit that has both the male and female connector (non-pcb models).

I'm looking into maybe see if it's possible to make a crude 3D-print version of the connector (Not sure the it will be able to hold on to the pins when connecting..).
But due to bluepower being able to find them, I feel that it increases my chances.

Is there any search terms that might aid me?
I'm thinking that the connector is not uniformed (2 columns of pins on one side of the locking mechanism but only 1 on the other),
that there might be some term that I might be missing.
