WOuld it be possible to replace the Mk1 connector with a retrofit of the Mk2 connector to the sled and unit?

This would:

- Possibly allow more control lines in the serial port?
- allow the use of the ISO connectors in the car harness

I do realise that the functionality offered in the Mk2 (headlamp dimmer input, phone mute, perm/switched power feed) are not handled by the hardware of the Mk1, so I would not expect these features to work. I also realise that there is a physical difference in the size of the connectors which would probably require an adaptor plate at both ends.

However, I appear to be experiencing reliability problems with the Mk1 connector, and for me this would be an attractive possibility.

Anyone see any reasons why this could/could not be done? Any benefits/drawbacks?
