Hi folks!

Ordered my first Mini on Friday for delivery late September..
Made much easier by all the helpful info on these forums!

Mini One
BRG, Silver Trim
Pepper Pack
ASC+T
MFSW
Elec Folding Mirrors
Heated Mirrors/Washerjets
Visibility Pack
Auto Air Con
Sat Nav
Single CD Player
Tracker Retreive

Can't wait for September!

One quick question though, I have an exisiting Sony 10 CD changer and head unit, will the changer fit in the boot of the mini ok, or do I have to fork out for another one?
I've also heard that the newer CD players are capable of playing MP3 discs, can anyone confirm this?
Thanks

PD

with the right braket the changer should fit in fine, but be warned adapters will b needed for the MFSW and possibly the changer prep loom, and definately on the hedunit looms, and u'l even need a plate to get the headunit to fit properly.

Welcome to MINI2!

That's a lovely spec you have there.

Smoked is right regarding the audio questions. To fit the headunit, you'll need the fitting kit with is about £20 available from NewMiniStuff.co.uk. The changer should be able to fit with a different bracket, and as Smoked said, you'll need some adaptors. Mike of NewMiniStuff.co.uk will advise you of everything.

Thanks Smoked and Sebby for the cool advice!

I'll have a look at the NewMiniStuff website and see what stuff I need.

Look forward to getting the Mini!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I needed the Sat Nav - have TomTom3 on my PDA at the moment and find it indispensable on long road trips.
(It even found a quicker route to Alton Towers for me on Monday!)

nice spec. you won't regret the visibility pack. and i wish i'd specced the heated mirrors/washers pack too.

what sort of alloys have u specced?

Nukleuzk · #13 (**permalink**) Jul 4th, 2004, 11:17 AM

Hi Robmac

I've gone with the standard 5* Rocket alloys in the Pepper pack. Can always change later on.

Just added Chrome Interior to it as well now after seeing some pics on here!
