Hi Guys, looking for advice re. connecting two cables together which is something I've done on countless occasions over the years, but this task is different.
I'm trying to replace the (aftermarket) reversing camera fitted to our 5 series by a previous owner. I've purchased a replacement unit but the connections don't match those already in place & this is going to mean splicing 2 cables together, each one consisting of 5 fine wires. Because this 'micro surgery' is new to me I have neither a suitable stripping tool or connectors to do the job … soldering might be the answer, but as the existing cable cannot be removed from the car I would have to carry out the work in-situ & I'm no expert with a soldering iron anyway
The individual wires look too fine for even a standard 5amp bullet (or similar) connector, so can anyone suggest an alterative ?
Many thanks for viewing.
