I have a 2014 Expedition EL. It does not have a factory camera and had the basic radio. I just installed a Jensen CAR 8000 head unit and would like to use it's backup camera capability.
I was able to pickup a liftgate license plate molding with an oem camera in it. The new Ford molding has an 8 pin female connector and the old has a 4 pin connector.

Does anyone know where I can get the connectors I need to make an adapter that will mate with the new molding connector and the current wiring in the car which has a 4 pin?
My plan is to use the connector to break out the video signal to a wire that I will run to the Jensen and keep the old wiring to power the license plate lights.

I need a male 16 pin a female 4 pin like the ones attached

Thank you for the suggestion. There are a few pigtail sites out there probably put up by the same person all charging quite a bit for a single pigtail. One would probably need 2 or 4 making it quite expensive to create a plug and play adapter rather than splicing.
You can order just the connectors for $3 each from another site but I am not sure of the part number and the Ford pigtail catalogue doesn't seem to match what one needs.

I ordered a tailgate harness with the camera from a donor car and I will try to make the adapter from that. If It works and I can figure out the connector part numbers I will share . This way maybe I can save somebody from getting gouged by sites like findpigtails.con
I was hoping that somebody on this forum had already done what I hope to do already
