If you got the first generation 1k (the blue and red version) than no without installing the pad upgrade kit first. The second generation (the black version) has the pad upgrade installed so your can swap the pads over.

Check this video from mpcstuff, it will take you about 2 minutes to check to see if you have or not.

yes i have new version i also read a god tip;

''the old pads were separate from each other, so when you slightly move one, the others wouldn't move. The new pads are on one rubber piece under the faceplate, so if you move one the other pads around it move slightly ''

btw THX !

mpc stuff said ; yes if u have the newest BK version

also what do u think about this ? ;

''the old pads were separate from each other, so when you slightly move one, the others wouldn't move.
The new pads are on one rubber piece under the faceplate, so if you move one the other pads around it move slightly ''

i dont belive that only black back version have pad upgrade.


Any expert who will resolved our doubts ???

just follow this video about removing the front face plate - open it up and have a look (check out the MPC stuff video about installing pad upgrade kit to see if you have the right kind).. takes no time at all and all you need is a phillips head screwdriver

and afterwards, once you've finished probing around inside, you'll feel closer to your MPC than you ever did.

u have to check only one thing ;

''the old pads were separate from each other, so when you slightly move one, the others wouldn't move.
The new pads are on one rubber piece under the faceplate, so if you move one the other pads around it move slightly ''

thats all

Doesn't always work, I did that and nothing moved. Easier to open it and check :nod:
