Hi all,

Just bought a 2003 Mini Cooper 1.6 auto in great condition but hoping you can answer a few questions!

1) Can you replace the basic CD player/radio with a Sony MEX-BT3900U Bluetooth USB CD/Mp3 Car Stereo (Radio Tuner,Front Aux Input) (see Amazon UK) or does it need to be Mini specific?

2) There are no controls at all on the steering wheel - I've seen threads about replacing wheels - is this possible on a model this old?

3) It has the computer screen above the radio, but this is out of date. Is it possible to (a) update the software, (b) completely install a new system that would connect to phones etc or (c) replace it with a speedometer like most other Minis have?

Any help or advice would be a huge help, thanks :)
