CD Changer

[acidHL]

Hi Guys,

I've had a search around the forums but I can't seem to find an accurate answer to my questions. Perhaps somebody on the boards will know.

I have an 06 plate MCPL with CD changer prep - I would like to go about adding the CD/MP3 changer by myself (and avoid BMW's huge hourly costs!).

Can I do this myself by simply plugging in a changer via the cables in the boot or do I need to in some way configure the head unit to use it?

That brings me onto my second question... can I use any CD Changer or does it have to be a genuine MINI model?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi

Ive got a MINI CD changer fitted to my 06 ONE

If its the MINI one it is basically a plug and play jobby....the cables are there, the brackets come with it etc etc.

Now when I was looking to get it, I originally got an Alpine Changer and Interface, which wont work as BMW changed something on the newer models (05 on i think). I gave in and bought the genuine one as it as easier

I'd look in the classified or on fleabay if you dont want to pay BMW prices (I paid £300 )

..oh and mine will be forsale soon if you want to wait till March

Ohhh, maybe I can hold out until March - perhaps you could send me a PM when you're about to sell it?
