Happy Hippo, Thanks for the info. Only just read it as I have been too busy playing with the new 'baby' born on the 1st! Another Cooper hits the road!

BugEyedGremlin · Sep 16th, 2003, 10:06 AM

Got my Cooper S for 5 months now, and have just upgraded the sound system (Audison SRX + Hertz HS165 Splits & Hertz Sub). It sounds wicked, but I feel its time to upgrade the Head Unit.

One problem though, can't seem to find the MFSW adapter in South Africa. Anyone willing to ship one out here or know where I can get one, obviously shipping to be included in the purchase price?

mikeythemini · Sep 16th, 2003, 11:44 AM

I ship worldwide. What stereo r u fitting??

BugEyedGremlin · Sep 17th, 2003, 06:50 PM

Hi Mike,

Not to particular about the HU, was just hoping to get my hands on an adapter first and then make up my mind based on whats available. I take it there is only one kind of adapter?

How can I contact you about shipping one out here?

mikeythemini · Sep 18th, 2003, 10:50 AM

Hi, the plug and play adaptors are specific to each make of radio.
I do have a universal one but it requires a wire cut in the car and an led mounting. You would be better to pick a radio first
You can e mail me on newministuff@aol.com ring me on (0)1704 878528 or see my site, www.newministuff.co.uk

Hi, Mikey I try to buy sonycdx-m850mp and understand you got the MFSW adaptors but do I still need the Receiver Wire Harness
please quote prices for both and shipment charge to PM.

Thank

mikeythemini · Oct 6th, 2003, 07:13 AM

Where is PM??
You will no longer need the harness adaptor but you will need the aerial & facia adaptors
WHere are you and do you have the Wave or Boost?
Mike

donald · Oct 6th, 2003, 11:41 AM

Thanks Mike, I live in USA, SC I think in US we are running boost and I will contact you when my new HU arrived.

mikeythemini · Oct 6th, 2003, 03:11 PM

Yes USA is on Boost - both the engine and the radio

mikeythemini · Oct 13th, 2003, 12:57 PM

Now have an Infra Red interface for Pioneers
This will fit all pioneer units that have IR remote facility.
Only got it in wave wiring though

Hi all,

Bit of advice please if anyone can help...
Got an Alpine 9803R in my mini with the relevant alpine adapter to connect to iso and the adapter for the mfsw controls. When I put my headlights or sidelights on the radio doesn't light up (when it's switched off).
The stock Boost unit in my gf's cooper does and previous units in other cars I've had do, now I can't find my power button in the dark..? Is there a simple wire swap..?

Heeeelp..!!!

Nige.

mikeythemini · Oct 15th, 2003, 07:18 AM

Hi Nige, the harness adaptor with the alpine mfsw adaptor carries a sidelight feed. Make sure the dash lights are set to full brightness as some stereos won't sense them if they are turned down. Other than that it could be that the alpine hasn't got that feature.

P.S. Just updated the mfsw adaptor list

mikeythemini · Nov 21st, 2003, 05:56 PM

JVC mfsw adaptors just arrived to Wave should have Boost within days

pesos · Nov 21st, 2003, 07:37 PM

Hi Mikey I tried to have someone contact me but no one has gotten back to me - i would love to get a mfsw adapter and mounting kit (if necessary) for my alpine 9807 head unit...

thanks!
Wes

mikeythemini · Nov 21st, 2003, 07:49 PM

If it hasn't got the R after the number it hasn.t got the socket

The universalone??

pesos · Nov 21st, 2003, 08:30 PM

i thought the R just means it's a uk model instead of us model --- do the US ones not work with any mfsw adapter?

thanks,
Wes

mikeythemini · Nov 22nd, 2003, 12:45 AM

No they do not have the socket

The universal or SWIX as its known in USA is the only answer I can think of

Kurtster · Nov 30th, 2003, 09:40 PM

I am picking up my MINI tomorrow. it has a NAV system but NOT the HK,

I'm thinking of the Pioneer DVH-5000MP head unit with a hidden switch to use the NAV screen for DVD.

I've no idea whether the stock head unit is boost or wave. Hence, I'm totally confused about how or IF i can use this Pioneer head unit with the MFSW controls.

Can someone advise me on this? Searches yield pages of stuff to wade through so I apologize if this has been covered before.
if this HU won't work, can someone suggest a similar HU that DOESn"T have it's own built-in LCD? I'd really like to use the NAV screen instead because installation and design are much smoother in appearance.

Thanks,
Kurtster

Phat_Mini · Dec 2nd, 2003, 01:54 PM

Could you tell me if you could supply me an harness adapter and aerial adapter and facia plate if needed for a JVC KD-SH909R for 3 series June 2001

Cheers

Phat

mikeythemini · Dec 3rd, 2003, 07:16 AM

Yes Phat, drop me an e mail, I take it its a e46 shape. All in stock.
Kurster, standard is a boost, I do not have an adaptor for the 5000 at the moment
