Leave it up to BMW to have to be different. I pulled the radio out to plug in the direct antenna adapter for my new Sirius radio and come to find out the antenna adapter is some thing that is not seen on any other type of vehicle.

What are my options? My research says I can't get an auxillary input jack because they don't work with 2002 MINI. Short of rolling this thing out of the back of a C-130 at 35,000 feet, doesn anyone know if they make an antenna adapter.

Keep in mind I live in Atlanta so the dealer was negative help. I also don't want to lose my CD changer. The way I see it II either have $500 investment on a new radio and install or the C-130. Personally I'm leaning towards the C-130 right about now.

I figured out I can get European antenna adapters. I bought some off e-bay. I'll go roll the MINI out of the back of the 130 and park it back in the garage.
