FAKRA connector

Hi, the FAKRA connector is broken on our mini one aerial lead so we can't receive broadcasts. the original owner had bodged it in with a matchstick..... Anyone know where is the best place to get a new connector as I don't want to fit a complete new aerial lead.....thanks

Hi

I am in the same situation with this connector
I have found a couple of places and ways to carry out a repair. but I can find the coax spec that bmw use at the moment.
I thought it was RG174 but I am not shore at the moment it might be RG316
You will need a fakra type A connector

Fakra code "B" Jack ,Right Angle ,Crimp Attachment for RG316
This is a type B but they do have type A instock you will need a crimp tool for the coax and a soldering iron pritty simple job and can be done buy just dropping the panel under the steering wheel. I need to find the spec of the coax to get the right crimp and plug.
Sorry I can be more helpfull but soon as I know what spec coax I will let you know.
