You can't buy the LVDS connectors separately, and that's from the suppliers UK rep.
The only options are to buy entire cables ( which do exist) or join two ends. I've mostly made up my own cables by joining two ends together, mostly from a chopped up range rover harness.
Hi Stuart can you elaborate on the caravan repair guy idea to connect the headrest cable, the ones I bought the previous owner cut both heqdrest harnesses to remove them.

Long story short, Fakra’s arrived, went off to Fakra cable repair man who had just moved premises, no phones, employee had just broken leg at workplace and said “don’t expect you job anytime soon” just leave it” me thinking will see it when hell freezes over.
Plan B
Wait for it......Caravan Repair Guy says I’d just solder them and explains a super secret way to do this (as my first attempt was a monumental, complete failure, me thinking, “Yeah, right, what would a caravan guy know, pffff! (Que caravan people on here☺️)
W. T. F. IT WORKED!

So tomorrow some rear seat Yoga and this retrofit is complete
