Maybe leftover from a project. I'm looking for male to male around 4 feet each line on the cheap?

Thanks. First, I posted in the wrong forum. But is raises the question, for me atleast. Are they sized or wound differently or are there differences in the connectors? I was of the understanding the the difference between D2B and MOST was the command system, not the cable.

I'm guessing by your question, I'm wrong, which in this case means I'm specifically looking for MOST so that would be what, 08 or 09 models?

The plugs and sockets of D2B and MOST are quite different:

MOST plugs have the locking tab at the side, ie the edge, whereas

D2B plugs have the locking tab on the top, ie on the wide side.


See attached jpgs. MOST plug & socket on the left; a D2B plug-socket-plug triangle (with protective dust caps on) on the right.

So MOST is what I'm looking for. Thanks again.
