Aux Input for a 2002?

[sixfoot6]

Hello all.

Afraid I haven't been keeping up. I was looking into an AUX adapter for my Rio Karma back when I bought my MINI two years ago (a 2002) and at that time the only available option was a Blitzsafe adapter from the CD Changer cable in the trunk ($100).

From searching around here I see an official AUX package has been released that lets you plug straight into the back of the radio. Will this work on my July '02 Build MCS (STD CD)???

From this old post: http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...light=2002+aux it would seem so not

If not, are there any new options for a 2002? Other companies besides Blitzsafe? Or has the price perhaps fallen?

Thanks!

Still piling on the twisties, can't get enough!

I don't think it will work with your 2002. I got mine two months ago and mini is 2003. The guys at mini had asked me if my car was a 2002 or 2003. They told me it would only work for 2003 and up.

Also, do a search on this forum and you would find your answer.
