And if so, will my non mfsw car have the necessary connections if I bought a secondhand mfsw (either pre or post facelift) and tried to fit it?

I've an aftermarket android head unit and despite it looking quite decent, it has no physical buttons so would really like them on the wheel!

I think it depends on what year pre-facelift. I believe some early 03 cars didn't come prewired, but then they included all you needed behind the wheel. Thats what I always thought anyway.

Cheers, it's a early 2005 54 plate so a 2004 build I would expect.
