The connectors should definitely be blue (just like the one you circled). Can you take some wider photos to give a bit more context as to what we're looking at? Do any of the tags on those cables have markings/part numbers that might help us identify what they are and if we're looking in the right place?

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Here are a couple more pictures. I pulled the carpet back forward of the A pillar and found two more cables, but neither of them blacked out the display.

Well I removed the glove box (WaPITA) thinking it might be like the AP2 cars. Does not appear to be so. 
I am at a loss at this point where this cable is.

Looking at the EPC (
https://epc.teslamotors.com/#/systemGroups/66302?partNumber=1032436-00-G&partId=4408827 ) I am fairly certain the connector you want is the one I circled in blue. The one in red should be the original one you circled in red:

Any idea where I might find it physically?
Tomorrow my wife, who is a bit more flexible than I am, can poke around behind the MCU and see if we can spot the cable.
If I'm reading the diagram right, I'd say under here, just to the right of the car's centerline. Can you pull your floor mats out and shine a light under?

Will try tomorrow.
Shouldn't there be another end to that connection on that harness?

Well I continued to take our more panels and poke around with a mirror. Cannot find anything in the car that resembles the video connector except this one loose one behind the tray under the MCU. Cannot get access or see under the center console as it is all integrated nor could we see the back of the MCU.
At this point I think I have come to the conclusion that modding a Gen 1 MX is not happening.

Nothing. I think the rear air ducts are blocking the view.
I took a bunch of the faux leather wrap away and could see that it was a large integral unit. It is also tied into the rear AC controls etc between the seats. It looked like a major undertaking to remove it IMHO.
My local SC had no issues selling them to me... maybe we need to do a 3rd OEM buy... what PNs did you try to order specifically?
On a related note, second round of CAN bus kits are on their way and should be ready to shostarting next week; if anyone that doesn’t already have an order in is interested, let me know, still have a few unclaimed!
Try this. Got it from an earlier post. FAKRA HSD LVDS Z female / male 1.2m Shielded Dacar 535 4-Core Cable for BMW、Benz | eBay
I asked for part numbers 1006780-00-D and 1006781-00-E at both locations closer to me.
I’ve also tried reaching out to other service centers further out and have not been able to get a hold of anyone by phone. These are 45 mins + each way from me but I wouldn’t mind driving it if I could at least confirm that they’d be able to order the parts for me.
3rd OEM buy would be awesome!
We can definitely do another OEM buy, is just a matter of lead times (around 6 weeks iirc) and MOQs. Pricing goes up per cable if we only order a few. Last time I ordered 15 sets and pricing was reasonable. I think the minimum we could order would be about 10pcs each (short and long).
If you're using Tesla cables you want:
2 x "Jack to Jack (Blue)" Tesla PN 1006782-00-E (HSD, IP, CAMERA) (Should be equivalent/ the latest version of 1006782-00-D)
1 x "Plug to Plug (Blue)" Tesla PN 1006781-00-E (CABLE, HSD, BODY MAIN, CAMERA) (Should be equivalent/ the latest version of 1006781-00-D)
You could also use 1006780-00-D/1006780-00-E instead of 1006782-00-D/E (Slightly different lengths but should be the same genders).
Thank you for that information, although I suspect that I would've received the same reply from the service centers with the updated PNs. One of them specifically stated " these are considered harnesses, which are restricted parts and not sold to the general public".
Sooo... anyone interested in a 3rd OEM buy?

Look them up in the online parts catalog and see if they are listed as restricted. Epc.tesla.com
