Many people ask me how to connect their MP3 player to their Mini as all the options seem to be for the ipod.
This device has both an ipod dock connector & a USB socket. So you can connect your ipod, a USB memory stick or a MP3 player with USB connector.
It allows browsing from the stereo/MFSW buttons.
It is plug & play (behind the stereo) so easy to fit yourself.
Versions are available for WAVE, BOOST & HK stereos
On 05/06 MInis with Boost or HK (without nav) you can get scrolling titles (artist & track title) on the stereo display & browse playlists, folders, artists & albums from your stereo/mfsw.
This unit uses the cd changer socket so if you have a cd changer & wish to keep it go for the 400 model
