Unit is not a MK4 as posted on MINI2 and I also forgot to mention that the unit would need recoding to US is you don't know meters or yards.

Yes, it is a simple swap (I think that I had you confused with another recent inquiry). Recoding only matters if the unit is in US mode. However, if you do buy one that is, you can get it back to Euro mode by downgrading the firmware and then upgrading again. That will force the unit to Euro mode and give you yards/meters rather than feet.
