FOUND IT!
JAE MX68 Series cable

random notes:

http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic26588-45.html

so what you wanted was to create a cable:
LVDS ZYX JAE MX38 Series IN-LINE FEMALE To MX68 MALE Series Socket
That way you can use the 2014 dash harness with the 2017+ unit??


edit:
Edwin, please post the parts list. thanks.

Good job finding square connector, *claps hand

But the ZYX-0226 connection is not correct type from original (older) display. That connector is actually one that goes to rear of non navigation stereos.
The correct (older style) rear display is not too hard to locate though

I watched the sales pitch video from 4x4 and they said my joy stick mouse will not work. Is there a work around or have they improved the product to accommodate my type of input interface?

Are you going to get the optional $99 Apple CarPlay upgrade?
