Cable type 1 is the original c3 years until 2009, after the used cable type 2.
I have a 2008 original C3 and the cable is type 1, while my friend has a 2010 and uses cable C3 type 2

The original c3 Mux can not reverse the cables does not work.
Daxxer posted two pictures here where Mux are two original C3. In the first picture is a Mux which is used cable type 1 and in the second picture is a newer generation Mux with cable type 2.

Ombra you somehow have a Mux clone? when possible

in couple of hours i'll stop by a shop that has fake c3 and test his cable(s) type 2 on original c3 and see what will happen if any... smile moreover report back if type 2 has worked or not on original c3 smile
