I spec'd what was at the time of ordering the only bluetooth option for my new Cooper S. Since reading this thread I have emailed my dealer and below is the official release information from Mini which he forwarded to me - I hope it helps clarify (it did for me and I'm sticking to the full option):
The following MINI Hatch and Clubman Product changes will take place from the 1st April: Effective from 1st April 2008: Release of option 6ND Basic Bluetooth with USB Audio To further complement MINI's range of innovative functions, we now offer option 6ND 'Basic Bluetooth with USB Audio'. Priced at £295 across both the Hatch and Clubman range. This option is a more cost effective way of having the Bluetooth and USB function in a MINI. Basic Bluetooth allows you to use your mobile phone through the car's audio system as a hands-free telephone function. Please be aware the following elements vs. Full Bluetooth Telephone Preparation are not included in this option: - 249 Multifunction for steering wheel
- 255 Sports leather steering wheel
- 473 Centre armrest with Bluetooth cradle
- No charging function
- No aerial amp
Option 6NE: Change of name to 'Full Bluetooth Telephone Preparation with USB Audio'
