Just had a quote for MINI Bluetooth system for my May delivery Cooper.

It reads

M84.13.0.300.532 Console 1 127.66
M84.21.0.306.486 Adaptor 1 45.96
M84.64.0.304.493 Bluetooth kit RE 425.54
ZOT002 Labour 273.00

Total £1024.00 inc VAT

Blow me.....!!!
Blinkin heck!!!

That is astonishing........

Nokia original kit is only about £100
Connectors cant be more than £30

How on earth?

Anyone any idea??? its not a blinkin 7 series BMW...>
In fact it would be overpriced for that..

the kit lists at $400USD over here, plus install, which i can't imagine being too difficult to do yourself. now if i could only get a decent signal on my SonyEricsson T616!

You want bluetooth for your Mini - give me a shout. Through the stereo. EASY DIT fit

MarkW19 · Feb 25th, 2004, 10:46 PM

Slightly less than £1k as well eh Mikey...

mikeythemini · Feb 25th, 2004, 10:59 PM

just a bit

And works with more phones

Minty · Feb 26th, 2004, 11:13 AM

nice quote....however, even if you wanted the official kit....its not available yet anyway!

speacock · Feb 27th, 2004, 01:29 PM

I just ordered the MINI kit (84 11 0 302 897) from Classic Auto and they are claiming my kit will come in on Wednesday. Total price is $360 + shipping.

The parts list scooby has looks more like a BMW kit than a MINI kit. The X5 does receive a replacement console with phone charging/antenna docking cradle. I can't imagine where in the MINI console they can fit the cellphone. Also the X5 installation instructions show a recommended time of 7.5 hours.

I'm confused....I have a T616, but what exactly would bluetooth in my car enable me to do?

mikeythemini · Feb 27th, 2004, 04:36 PM

Have a look at the DIY section www.newministuff.com.
Will take a first timer 2 hours, no choping or splicing wires.

Anyone ordered the US $450.00 Bluetooth Kit? I just ordered it for my 2004 MINI Cooper - wondering what the lead time is for it to arrive.

Same as factory? Installed how? :-)

speacock · Mar 1st, 2004, 08:28 PM

Classic Auto is a MINI dealer, so yes identical.
Installed by you. Besides, your $450 price is before dealer installation.

Sean

Bugged · Mar 2nd, 2004, 12:12 AM

Classic sells all it's parts for around 20% below list price, heck worse comes to worse buy the part from Classic and then give it to Sterling to install. Sterling will charge you the same for labor if you get the parts from them or not...

speacock · Mar 4th, 2004, 05:07 AM

Just got my Bluetooth kit and I must say that I am very not impressed. I'm hoping there will be a better kit in the future but I am not hopeful.

The kit is universal in that will work in all MINIs 9/02 or later regardless of MFSW or headunit. There are three parts and one wiring harness. The core is the control module which is installed behind the speedometer. Part two is the microphone in the headliner and the third part is a five button remote control that attaches to a bracket on the right of the stereo head unit. The remote has a call/hangup button on the bottom, a four way rocker for vol +/-, mute, audio switch and a LED for Bluetooth status.

There is no display function, everything is via voice control. Also there is no use of the MFSW. Press call/hangup and at the beep speak setup, call, dial etc. The unit speaks three languages and has a 32 entry phonebook separate from the cellphone.

This really feels like an aftermarket unit, and is nothing like the module for the BMWs. The FCC web page reports the unit is manufactured by Peiker Acustic, a German company. Here is the link to the filing. The remote is about the size of the one in the picutures but is styled like the one in the user's manual.

The first page of the installation guide is labelled:

MINI Hands-Free System (w/o HK) Kit - P/N 84 11 0 302 897 and has an underlined section

Installation time: 1 hour

Note: This MINI Hands-Free Phone System with Bluetooth Wireless Technology installation kit is only for vehicles without Harman Kardon Audio Systems

Which means that I'm not putting it in my HK equipped MCS just yet.

Finally it requires removal of the inside A-Pillar cover which is a one time use part. You will need a Left A-Pillar Cover (51 43 7 029 459) for the install.

Talk about irritating, there was a rumour about this on NAM earlier this week, so I called ASK-MINI about it. Their response "The MINI Bluetooth Kit is fully compatible with all of our factory radios." URRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!

MINIDean · Mar 11th, 2004, 10:18 PM

Sean,

Can you post some pictures in your gallery on what it looks like in the car? Thanks!

The part number listed for the console matches the part number for the armrest shown in THIS discussion.

Sorry for the delay, just got my own camera with my tax return.
I haven't permanently mounted it, only temporary for the photos. I'm debating the standard location vs the parcel shelf.
