Hi Guys!

Can you help me out?

I've just upgraded from a 45 plate Mini One to a spanking new 07 Plate One. When I sold my old Mini, I whipped out the 6 stack BMW changer from the boot (hey, the dealer weren't giving me anything for it!) and thought I might be able to stick it in the new car,

I've had a ferret around behind the panels in the boot but can't find the relevant wiring loom. In the old car, it was located behind the offside access panel and was very easy to get to indeed. The radio is the boost system with the slot loader in the dash and aux input below.

Am I being very dim indeed or is it that I simply can't have my cake and eat it?

Cheers!

They put the changer in the dash in the R56

If you did manage to wire it in, you would still have to take it to the dealer for coding (afaik)

CAN'T be done
The new R56 Mini changer is fibre optic - your old changer is those old things called wires

Thanks for the quick response guys!

Looks like I'll have to put the thing on ebay then...
