Best Parts and Accessories Websites?

[coolgreany]

Just picked up our new 2010 Clubman S (White/Silver) and have a few generic questions:

I'm in Germany and would like to find sources for mail-order or parts and accessories. I searched some of the forums unsuccessfully. Initially I'm looking for sources for:

1. IPOD/USB cable
2. Phone cables (most likely for Palm Pre)
3. Source and options for Roof Cross Bars (we have the factory installed rails)

Finally, the dealer mentioned making sure we "click" the gas cap else the Service light would become enabled. My question is, if the Service light is enabled by not clicking the gas cap will the procedure in the FAQ work to clear it or will the dealer need to clear it? The salesperson indicated this was a dealer item to correct.

I guess after 137 views I'll presume nobody here has any anzweres so next question - are there other Mini Forums on line where I mightjoin to see if anyone on the other forums could possibly provide answers?

Thanks.

Where are you based? There's loads of options, MINI dedicated and otherwise.

Try MINI Cooper Parts & Accessories Including BMW MINI & Cooper S Performance Parts at MiniCarParts.net

Check out the sponsors on here? Not sure if they'll all ship to Germany, but most will be able to provide what you're looking for so it's certainly worth a look.

Can recommend Lohen personally, and I've heard lots of good things about NewMINIStuff.

Other than that, welcome to MINI2, and congrats on the new Clubman.

Unnecessary.

[coolgreany]

Thanks folks. I'm in the military so can easily order stuff from USA web sites.

Cool. I only asked the location as many people use a German flag, but are not in that area.

Try also mini2.info and other German forums for local suppliers.

OK,
If you have US access.
I have used Moss MINI and MiniMania

Thanks lespurgeon!

Apparently there's a phone cable that connects a cell phone to the adapter in the arm rest - I think it just powers it but not sure what the exact function is.

MiniAcadie, thanks!
