Q
Will this keypad work with the Russound CAV 6.6? I'm looking for replacements for the UNO-S2.

We cannot find information either confirming it will or that it won't work and recommend contacting Russound by calling 866-888-7466 to check.

Q
Will these wall controls replace Russound wall controls that were installed in about 2005? And if so, is it basically just re-attching the wires?
