also is a 3m rca cable long enough to reach into the boot as seen this one on ebay thats flat so should be easier to fit

It doesn't I'm afraid as I don't have MFSW.

You will need the rest of the bits in the kit to make an aftermarket unit fit though.

ended up getting the bits off a mate as seems it had a spare one in his garage. now tried fitting it but ive not got the metal bits that you attach to the cage to keep the tv in one place in the dashboard. does anyone know  what theyd call these as cant seem to find them being sold seperately

thanks
