Waiting to get my hands on one of these to see what we can do

WxSquid · Jul 26th, 2006, 11:00 PM

LOL - perfect that you have the first post...

Rakey · Jul 26th, 2006, 11:15 PM

I hope you can also beef up security as well as on the present one and add in my Ice link

mikeythemini · Jul 26th, 2006, 11:27 PM

The existing icelink won't fit I am fairly sure of that, but we will have products

Just been watching the videos - do I buy one ????

of course you, we need you to have it apart straight away too

AidenL · Jul 26th, 2006, 11:31 PM

Yeah, you need one to experiment on Mikey

Paul · Jul 26th, 2006, 11:42 PM

Indeed. First job is to make it all make sense to motoring journalists!

Weird dial set up, possibly quite easy to use once you get used to it, but it's unatural I tell you!

WxSquid · Jul 27th, 2006, 12:13 AM

From the pics, the center speedo makes sense in that the controls are more "level" with your hand coming off the wheel. However, I can run my radio and a/c with my hand on the shifter right now.... and use the MFSW a lot.

iPod adapter, XM Radio, bluetooth with buttons on wheel. Less than $750 (or 370 pounds) please....

If I get a really early one I'll use the drive up to Formby to run it in

minisoopercooper · Jul 27th, 2006, 06:28 PM

good to see there are downtubes

that leaves us hope of where to mount an aftermarket stereo if you can get everything else sorted Mike

Paul

few more pics captured from Paul vids

Ahh yes... but BMW in their cunning plans are bound to have made the gap 20mm to narrow for a DIN1 unit

Since the stereo is integrated, how can you upgrade it?

jbensley · Jul 31st, 2006, 10:48 AM

Well, the upgrade will be tough... but it will be extra hard on any feckers who try to steal the radio.

Like my worrying about the sat nav, i'm sure that things will turn out great

monkeynuts · Jul 31st, 2006, 10:51 AM

Anyone seen any pics of the OEM Nav ?

Official MINi site mentions CD/Radio Boost will have Aux IN for externl auido devices.

In addition, the R52 convertible that continues to be produced will have Aux Input fitted in the glovebox as standard, starting with September builds according to this document: http://motoringfile.com/files/MINI_S...06_Changes.pdf

If you do decide to buy one Mikey get in quick with a Laser Blue before BMW find out
it is popular so decide to stop offering it
