2002 Mini - AUX input woes

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on these forums for some time now but i've come across a problem that requires the great minds of the Mini community to fix.

I received a used Mini Cooper as an early graduation gift (lucky me!) and for a week now I've been gradually driven insane due to the lack of an aux port for my iPod. So I ordered an Aux adaptor, installed it, and the head unit won't recognize it (no "aux" under "mode"). Called the local dealer and found out that (gasp!) my mini was built before the cutoff date of 9/02, which means it is not compatible with aux.

So the thing here is, the previous owner has a Sirius radio istalled, so there must be a way to access aux some sort of way.

Any ideas? If you need more info, i'll do my best to answer.
Thanks in advance!

Have you got your ipod connected and turned on when searching for the mode Aux? With mine it only becomes available when the ipod is connected. Bit of a long shot judging by all you have said but worth an ask!

The link Nikos1890 has posted is what you need if your car is too early for an AUX socket. I had one fitted to my first Cooper, and it was great.

Not sure Mikey of NewMINIstuff is using this forum now after a recent fall out with the owners. But he is around on other sites. Mikeys service is the best, and he ships all over the world.
