Hi,

Couple of questions:

Are the buttons the only things that don't work? And, while I'm cutting up two cables to connect the Sony stereo, I'd like to immediately attach some cables that I can feed to my subwoofer (by either RCA or simply tapping from the rear speakers). Could anyone tell me which letter/number combo in the pictures in the 1st post I need to attach my cables to?

Mk2 loom made & tested for a member, much tidier than the first monster.

Yes to the 2009 zetec.

No coding is needed to fit this.

You can't buy these, only make them.
