MINI2

mikeythemini · Nov 18th, 2006, 06:10 PM

I think my first release will be a bluetooth kit linked to the mfsw (+ versions for cars without MFSW)
Next - Ipod connections & in the future Zune connection
Interior accent lighting
Decent audio upgrade
DVD & video ipod inputs for factory navigation
.......

Cool stuff you know I'll be having them Mike

S33BBY · Nov 18th, 2006, 07:06 PM

It's good to hear there are things in the pipeline.

rayb · Nov 18th, 2006, 07:14 PM

Bluetooth for MFSW

ipod connection.

ALD0 · Nov 18th, 2006, 08:02 PM

Excellent you will be supporting the R56 alrady!
Do you regret not getting one for your Demo car or not?

mikeythemini · Nov 18th, 2006, 08:09 PM

Don't regret it, far prefer the old shape

& I havn't finished development on that yet

, plus with 800,000 of them out there its got a huge customer base.
Mini have made the R56 MUCH harder for the aftermarket in all respects - audio, electronics, engine tuning, even lighting!! But I will be right there with the R56 - a demo car is not that important anyway as my biggest customer base is not the UK so they cant see it anyway
(I have a secret plan to get my Mum to get an R56 then we will have 2 demo cars - she just doesn't know it yet)

Martin F · Nov 19th, 2006, 03:22 PM

Mikey, I'm up for bluetooth for MFSW and an Ipod connector for my R56, which I get tomorrow.

Any idea of when you will have them available?

hein · Nov 19th, 2006, 03:45 PM

hey mikey,

thats good news, had the mfsw phonekit in my mcs r53, and want it in my new MCS R56 too, any idea of release?

Rakey · Nov 19th, 2006, 05:23 PM

Mike let me know as soon as you have Icelink sorted and Bluetooth please, as we pick up around the 18th of December and we are holding out as long as possible for you to get this rather than go to the dealer to have it done

mikeythemini · Nov 19th, 2006, 05:26 PM

Will have answers on both this week
I think I will have bluetooth available by the end of the week - ipod not so confident

ttocs · Nov 19th, 2006, 07:05 PM

I'll be in touch in a couple of weeks too, B'tooth, Ipod are on the list.

SteveM3 · Nov 19th, 2006, 07:52 PM

Never mind all this practical stuff how about saving the day and coming up with
something to make the R56 centre console look as good as the rest of the interior?

ttocs · Nov 19th, 2006, 08:19 PM

The impossible can be done today.......miracles take a little longer

Would be my guess

You may also recieve a Mini2 Knighthood and be Reffered to as 'SirMikeythemini' if you can come up with a replacement for those Side-repeaters!

S33BBY · Nov 19th, 2006, 08:34 PM

The side repeaters are very strange, but I reckon they'd look quite good in the flesh (at least the S ones would).

Weird: would be the best way to describe them, they do look better in the flesh/metal/plastic, but they are not great.

I think if I come up with a solution Mini may have me poisoned

S33BBY · Nov 19th, 2006, 09:30 PM

The centre console is a weird thing. I don't like it at all. But, if you order the factory navigation, I think it looks quite good!

£1500 is a lot to make the speedo look better!

True! Personally I'd order it anyway. I've got it on my current MINI and wouldn't be without it now.
