I have an android box hardwired into the car that displays on the stock touchscreen when I'm on the navigation window and hit a manual switch in the center console. This allows me to use google maps, music streaming, android auto, and all the other features a fully functioning android system offers... like voice commands. It's quite nice to say "hey google, take me home" and the map instantly pops up and starts providing directions.

Currently I have a lavalier microphone hanging from the seam between the A-Pillar and the headliner. The cable routes through the headliner to the rear seat area and plugs into the android box with a standard 3.5mm connector. This works fine, but I want it to look stock. So, I have sourced a replacement Jaguar microphone from an eBay seller, and plan to rivet it into the pillar trim next to the stock microphone. The only problem is I don't have a female connector to plug the microphone into.

Yes, I know I can splice in any 2 conductor connector I want, but I really want to use a Jaguar connector and section of wire from a salvaged harness. My plan is to use the same 3.5mm cable I have routed through the car, remove the pins from the jaguar connector, throw away the lavalier microphone, and solder the jaguar connector pins to my routed cable. This way, when I remove the pillar, I disconnect 2 microphones instead of 1. It really won't matter which microphone plugs into either connector, as they'll functionally be the exact same... one will route to my android box, and the other will route to the vehicle's bluetooth system.

Does anyone have access to this connector and a few inches of the car-side microphone cable they can offer me? I'm not sure where the best place to make a request like this is that would get any visibility. Help is appreciated, including alternate solutions. Thanks!

 

Do you have what's shown in your picture? Since you're in Dallas, run it around to Mouser Electronics, over in Mansfield. I thought they also had a location more in the metroplex, but their website doesn't show it. They'll have that connector and the pins to go with it.

 

Correct... I have what's in the picture. I need the harness side.

Mouser is a 45 minute drive, so I'll use that as a last resort. I looked on there and digikey to see if I could identify it, but didn't have luck.

I would be more than happy with a mouser/digikey part number of anyone has it.

 

I was thinking of Allied Electronics (www.alliedelec.com), as they have several locations in the metroplex. Mouser was all I could pull out at the time. Is Allied any closer? Of course 45 min in DFW is like 3 miles, right??

 

Allied is about 20 minutes away. I've dealt with them professionally, but I've never brought in a connector and tried to match it. I'll give it a shot.
