Edwin...was there any other writing or markings on the new blue connector for the display?
I spent some time scouring JAE connectors, and no effing luck. Either the photos that depict them are not 100% accurate, or I'm looking in the wrong places.
This shouldn't be that hard. lol

have any of you try looking under the part number you had provided earlier or the K158 code on the spreadsheet you provided?
my guess is that this is a special made plug specific for Lexus. Maybe they signed a contract to not distribute or replicate?
The old plug has a number mark on the plug itself. The new plug does not.

But seriously, the K158 is just the Lexus label for the connector on the wiring diagram, so that's not going to go anywhere.
The part number for the connector is a bust on Google searches.
I'm thinking the connector is likely made in Japan along with the rest of the harness. Not necessarily the connector is sold in North America.
That's my working theory.
The hunt continues...

Started slowly picking up some pieces as I find them as well.
Who else is gonna join the Retrofit club with me and Edwin?
ended up buying entire center console just for the Navi Joystick Mouse piece
Seller threw in these two side knee panels but they are torn up so will need to search for replacement of these.
now need to find the Display and Headunit itself.
