Im sorry that this is another one of those threads but i have been quiet for the past few days in anticipation.

Its now less than 24 hours to go before my Pepper White MCS is delivered to my front door and i cant tell you how excited iam. In fact the only sad thing will be that on Thursday its off to my local dealer who is going to fit the Spotlights and Ipod Interface.

Hopefully by Friday i will get some great pics on here.

21 hours and counting....tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

I am very confused Tony, my dealer told me it would be £265 to fit an iPod adapter but Mini are not supplying them yet. However, after reading through many hundreds of threads I have gathered that many new owners have had them fitted going as far back as early January.

Is there any light to shed? Should I challenge my dealer? or just rind round the others nearby?

Jef,

They are and have been fitting them, hopefully mine will get it fitted as planned on Thurs.
HOWEVER, i have it from a very reliable source that as of March 1st, dealers have been told not to fit them until the Software problems have been eradicated once and for all.

I guess i will find out on Thursday.
