Where can I get one of these connectors

You could always try "Connectors 'r Us" or "Connector World" :D

Thanks for the offer.

I want to borrow the Ignition Feed to the trailer plug to power up a device that requires an ignition signal wire.
However I do not want to cut into any of the D4's wiring and I also do not want to use a quick splice connector(I hate those things).

If I intercept the signal at this connector (inside the cargo area) but just releasing the ignition feed wire from the connector it will make my wiring run a bit simpler.

At the moment I do not need the ignition signal to the trailer. I will work out a way to splice the cable later.

I actually plan to use the wire with female pin (as this is the upstream side).
So my photo of the wire with the male pin attached is a bit redundant now

Try the wurth range

I've been wondering who makes these connectors too.

My guess is that they are a custom design and you may not be able to get them independently.

That being said I think it's worth trying to at least find who the OEM is as it may be possible to do something such as keep the contacts (pins) and replace the housings with standard ones from the same OEM (it's unlikely the contacts are custom just the housings).

One likely candidate that hasn't been mentioned so far is JST:-

J.S.T. Mfg. Co., Ltd.

my younger brother is a Communications Engineer and he sent me here and to another site that I can't recall when chasing a connector for the Disco.

That trailer harness connector looks like a AMP Econoseal J2


Have a look at:

Have a look at the 3D Model. Open it then click on it to active then click and drag for a full 3D view. Pretty sexy!

Close but not the unit... Factory plug had 6.3 flat pins

Think it might be this one

Housing looks like this one

I use F9 fuse in the main engine bay fuse box to power my LED daytime running lights, if you are only looking for a power source thats active when motor power is on this may suit your needs.

Fuse F9 is not used in my car, a 2005 TDV6 HSE, other than by the daytime running lights. I cut a small battery connector that I cut one leg off, being the same thickness as a fuse and able to crimp a small insulated wire to.
