Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out where I can order a male and female version of the connectors feeding into the Premium trim processor/amp that's located under the driver's side kick panel. There are two connectors I want to work with: a brown one that has wires for power/ground and what looks like the front/center speaker outputs and a grey one that looks to have the rear channel speaker outputs. I was able to read the following numbers off of the two connectors:
*Brown: PBT-GF30 MCD 2
34927-0142
*Grey: PBT-GF30 MCD 1
34728-0161

They are both Molex connectors

The problem is that I have tried to search around for these molex connectors, but I don't know the proper term to search for with these. I have tried the numbers listed above with no luck on molex's website, fordparts website, or even DigiKey! (Come on!)

Does anyone have any information that could help out?? I would love to get a male/female version of each of these for my aftermarket audio set-up!

Here are a few pictures, sorry for the bad camera:

Thanks for reading.

Cheers :cheers:

So after a fair amount of searching, I was able to find the parts on Digi Key.
Grey Connector: http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?KeyWords=347290161&WT.z_header=search_go
Brown Connector: http://www.digikey.com/product-deta...inumum Quantity Not Met&uq=635572861543153677
The grey connector's part number actually ended up being 34729-0161 on multiple websites with confirmed pictures (I double checked the number on the connector in my car, with a magnifying glass, and it indeed says 34728-0161...weird!).

The problem: the brown connector looks to be near impossible to get in small quantities. (I say near because there's always the possibility of samples...) Every website I've looked at so far (digi key, mouser, newark) has a minimum order quantity of 1200! The grey connector (and it's mating part), however, are both easy to get in single units.

I was really hoping to make something that could plug into the existing amp, run to the input of my MS-8, and then have the existing harnesses plug into the output of my MS-8. It was going to be so clean! Nope...thanks Molex...good luck getting samples. /end rant

If I can remedy this problem I will absolutely do a post of my wiring set-up with instructions on how to get the connectors for those looking to do a similar set-up.

TLDR: if you're going to do aftermarket audio in your car, get ready to splice away! Doesn't look like there will be an easy way to make a plug and play harness for routing the factory Amp's output to a LOC/DSP of your choice...The DIY crowd is displeased...

Mouser.com will sell individuals.

The gray one is part number 34729-0161 (male) and the females are 34690-0161 (vertical) and 34691-0161 (right angle header).


The 14-pin brown connector has caveats. The 34927-0142 male end is on order until May 26, 2015.

The female end is not stocked (34772-0142). Minimum order is 205. However, they do have the 0140 variant, which is molded with a slight difference for polarized applications. Search for part numbers 34772-0140 / 34773-0140 (right angle). These may just take a little modifications to fit. There is a male crimp version available: 34969-0140.
