    Leon 59 plate ICE question

    The lead is the oem lead purchased from mini Stafford 2 years ago, maybe its been changed since then? But this lead works absolutely fine in my FR... I have an RNS 310 as far as I can tell. PS - The lead I got from flea bay would output music but not the control.
