I went to my dealer, and was told they were expecting the new integrated MINI bluetooth kit anytime and that it used the built-in microphone that's been standard on all new MINI's built since Jan 2005. The microphone is by the map lights.

Has anyone used the new bluetooth system in Europe, and can comment on how it works? Does it display caller id or phonebook informaton on the head unit? BTW, does Mikey's retrofit kit display this information?
