I must say I really like that model. I always have. It's so simple and classy looking, and really suits the MINI interior as it doesn't stand out too much.

I couldn't agree more
Yet another ebay bargain I found It's just a good job I had a fitting cage for it
It looks great in the daytime, but it's a shame at night it lights up white not orange

Alpine CDA-9835

I love this model because it matches up very well with the rest of the console. The majority of the low to mid-end Alpine models have more of a silver color plastic to them....while (i believe) the 9831 and above have the black plastic. This model also matches illumination color VERY well with the surrounding amber lights. As far as the 2004 models go, all of them are able to change their lights to amber (minus the 4 big buttons), and only the 9833 and up give you the option of changing the 4 big ones to whatever you want. So...overall, this is a great unit which blends in very nicely with the rest of the dash.
(sorry about the poor quality of the darker shots.....i just wanted to display the similarities in the colors)

I need your help, I've just had a 05 mini cooper (1 day old) and I chose to have the standard fit radio/cassette, on the basis that the dealer said my Sony MP3/CD player would fit. Now that its here I'm not sure if it will !! The gap looks bigger than the Sony head unit. Is it?? Will it fit or would I need a back plate to take the space up?
Please help I'm a desperate woman who can't live listening to the radio for much longer.

You need a radio fitting kit

Thanks for that, I went to Halfords and they have ordered them in for me and whilst I was there I brought a new JVC MP3/CD/Tuner, it was half price and one of their nice men are going to fit the lot for me.

Order them?
I could of had them with you for Tuesday. £23.50 for the 3 items
This wouldn't be the half price offer from the paper that isn't half price would it?
They did the same scam last year with kenwood prices

[Miniell]

I have two of the items needed but one was out of stock, so they are ordering it me. The unit should have been £199.99 and we got it for £99.99, don't know if this is the one in the paper as I don't read them that often. Hubby was pleased with it, it was a toss up between that one and the Sony one, but I didn't like that one, it was the wrong colour silver, the JVC unit was more chromey, so would match the other chrome better.

Sorry I didn't see your post until we got back and by then it was too late.
Hubby and I didn't want to start bodging up my new mini by attempting to fit it ourselves, so we'll leave it to someone who does this all the time and Halfords are providing us with a mobile audio technician for free.

Definitely not half price, The Halfords offer is on a JVC KD-G401, I've just bought a JVC KD-G501 (for my other car, not the MINI) which is higher up the JVC range as it has a few additional features (eg two outputs instead of the single output on the 401, a flip down front and is DAB ready, etc), I only paid £92 for the 501 at Costco, and I believe full JVC retail Price is only £180, I don't reckon that the 401 retails for more than about £150 and I bet you can pick one up for less than Halford's £99.99 price fairly easily from some of the discount stores.
