Awhile back I bought a Sony XAV-601BT head unit for my truck on ebay for $50 as a for parts or repair special. I traced the problem (that was preventing power up) to a bad connector between the front panel and the main chassis; pin 1 on the chassis (female) side was bent. I was able to kinda fix it by bending the connector back into shape; however, it's gotten dicky again and I'd like to solder a new connector on.
The problem: I don't know what type of connector it is! Here's some pictures of both ends:
The female connector is SMD on a separate daughter board, which I was not able to find anywhere as a buyable part. It's 46 pins IIRC, non-staggered.
I've seen these type connectors used all the time on aftermarket head units... yet I can't find them on digikey or the like. Suggestions?
(and no, a new head unit isn't in budget, at least if I want something not "wun hung lo". Although given how useless mirrorlink 1.0 is on this thing, I'd swap for a more usable unit in a heartbeat)
