MINI2

Hi,

I've had a search, and i dont seem to be able to find the answer to this, so i'll ask it here, might be a stupid question though!

I've got an 03 Cooper, with what I believe is just the Wave radio and a CD changer in the boot. When i've got a CD on, all i get is which CD it is (CD01, CD02 etc), and the track number. I know it is a tiny thing, but it is driving me crazy not having an elapsed track time on there!

Does anyone know if this is standard? I'm guessing it might be in which case i'll just grin and bear it because i love my new Mini!!

thanks,

Dave

Yeah i was thinking of heading down!

Just thinking about it, how would getting a different radio affect my 6cd changer? If i got another one wouldnt i have to get rid of that? Id rather have that in than a single cd slot.

Only a Mini stereo will work with the changer - you could upgrade to a BOOST CD player & then buy the adaptors & keep your changer
To be honest CD changers are finished now, MP3 has killed them off

Ok, thanks for that, i'll need to take a look at what options i've got. Thinking about, all my music is on my ipod anyway, so you're right, i could get away without the cd changer.

Something to think about!!
