I really wouldn't mind if the mk1 stuck out an inch from the dash. I really love how the mk1 looks compared to the mk2.

The Mk2 connector has plenty of extra wire slots the mk1 wouldn't use, so you could setup the antenna wire for say, the cell phone mute, or mic in wires. But, in order to do any of that, yes, hacking up a 300 of a kind of rare collector’s item isn't really the best solution.

We need to come up with some sort of solution to allow use to dock either an mk1, or mk2 in the same cage. Without too much modification to the factory mk1 (this would be where the extra metalwork for the mk2 would really help out alot!).
