CardDAV Contact Syncing Working on Windows Phone 8.1 (!!!)

I don't know if anyone else has achieved this yet, but I have been trying for months and months and have finally got CardDAV working on Windows Phone 8.1.
  1. Add an iCloud account.
  2. Set the email address to your fastmail email address, but add "+Default" after the name part so you have, for example "name+Default@fastmail.com".
  3. Put in your password (if you're not aware you can create an alternate login for this so you don't have to use your master password).
  4. Tap "sign in".
  5. Tap the newly created iCloud account.
  6. Change the account name to something meaningful.
  7. Make sure Contacts is ticked to sync.
  8. Untick sync Calendar.
  9. Tap "advanced settings" at the bottom of the page.
  10. Edit the "Contacts server (CardDAV)" to:
    "carddav.messagingengine.com:443/dav/addressbooks/user/username@fastmail.com/Default"
    Obviously changing "username@fastmail.com" as appropriate. Note the missing "https://" and the added port number.
  11. Tap the tick to save your changes.
  12. Your Fastmail contacts should now sync.
Note that you can't use the same account instance on your phone for both Calendar and Contacts because the usernames are different.
