 MINI Clubman great; iPod connection poor
Okay, I've just done 200 miles in my new MINI Clubman Cooper. So far I love the car and all its boy's toys. But isn't the manual rubbish? It comes across like something from a 1980's computer manual - all lost in translation. Really poor covering the sat nav (which I am still getting used to - the lack of full post code support is irritating and unexpected).
On the plus side my iPhone works flawlessly with the communications Bluetooth - of course I have way too many contacts in my address book for the voice recognition to cope but the mini-joystick works just fine.
So far the only thing that doesn't work is the iPod connection. Connect the USB and the iPod (4h gen 80GB Mac fomat) goes into "do not disconnect " panic (yes I have tried restoring it - no difference). I can get a weedy noise through to the car's speakers when I connect the mini jacks but the sound is p**s poor, the iPod doesn't charge and I have no control with the MFSW. CDs sound great though. I'm taking it back to MINI service to get this looked at and will feed back.
Love driving it!
