Oops!
You can hunt around for the right-angle, panel-mount SMB connector and try and convince a manufacturer to give you a "sample"
Or buy a old Mk3 or Mk4 nav off ebay with a dead CD or DVD mech, and then rob the GPS receiver out of it.
Replacing the GPS receiver is dead easy.
Replacing the connector is straight forward, you need a fair bit of heat when de-soldering due to the metalwork, but should come out fine
