So, I am trying to fix my new tablet install and this connector I have that goes to the bluetooth module has wires that are falling out from the connector housing, causing horrible audio issues.

I have bought some tools that I thought would be able to eject the connectors, but none fit / work? If anyone knows of which specifically I should get that could also help. The next option I have is to just cut the wires and marry them to a new housing - but I have no idea where to find one of these 8 port connectors or what they are even called?

Damn, I was hoping I had some sort of answer towards this.

There are literally thousands of types of electrical connectors.

You may need to recategorize a bit more to get exactly what you're looking for but I got to this with "CONN HEADER 8POS molex female"

I know there are thousands, if it helps it is part of the Scosche BT1200 system and this is for the "output" area. I am talking with their support even though they "disconnected it" and said they don't have the harness.. but I just need to know the model number of that specific connector so I don't go buying wrong parts.

Why did I not think of this? That looks really darn close, and I probably have an extra 8-pin connector somewhere. Only concern is the "shape" of the connector ports not being the same. I am going to look and try it out if I can sometime soon.

You're welcome

Update. I tried using a typical one from a PSU unit for a computer. The one inside the device is about 1/2 - 2/3 the time smaller than that of the PSU unit. Scosche refuses or states they do not know the "part number" of that harness - which is bullshit I think. But anyways, anyone have any ideas? Or anyone know how to "open" that up to allow me to resolder the wires?

Come on smart people I am sure one of you guys knows what I should do to fix this :'(

Buy a new bluetooth module.

This is a bluetooth module. There are a few reasons for me buying this BT1200 in the beginning was because I did a FULL tablet install. As in, there is NO radio in there, so I needed a line-in bluetooth.

Though, I bought another kit to try to unpin the Molex connector that I should get tomorrow, last try before I go and look for a replacement.

If anyone has any recommendations of a nice replacement with the features that the BT1200 has, I am all ears.
