MK52 bed on MK2

Is it possible to use the new MK52 magnetic bed with MK2 firmware?

I've got the MK2.5 upgrade kit, but I'm awaiting a matt black petg filament before printing the new parts - however I'd really like to make use of the new bed whilst I wait for this to arrive (it's coming from the USA, so going to take a while).

If I swap the bed over (and keep my existing extruder setup), will the mesh alignment points be in the same place? If not, is a quick firmware splice possible to add the new co-ordinates?

No!

You need the firmware to know your new bed. The same goes for MK42 bed using MK25 firmware.

Prusa created a new product, MK2(S) is dead.
