If you are using a desktop you just need the extension cable for a 9 pin serial i dont think its an rs232 i think u use them for starviews and eurovox

You needed M to F for phoenix on that progger.

And yes, you need an unlooper if the card is looped (standard)

Cheers, fitz

Or you can just prog a funcard if im right? Dont need an unlooper then.

Yes that's right, but Sony was asking about reading a card in Phoenix mode.

Funcard is the easy option if you've already got the BK.

Cheers, fitz
