No need to spend >$50 on that.  If you Google "13 pin DIN" one of the
first listings is Universal Radio.  They sell the 13 pin DIN plug
for $4.99 (#0954) or a plug with cable for $9.99 (#4893).  The
cable has bare wires on the other end.  You can put whatever you
want on that end.

Many car audio shops also have 13 pin DIN plugs and/or cables.
They are standard in the car stereo industry.
