I rang my dealer today and asked about the USB/Bluetooth module. He says that you can use it to drive an iPod (gen3 or later) using a special £40 interface cable. I already had the multifunction wheel so the additional cost came to £375 so considering it saved £25 on the dealer fit iPod interface but also gave me an armrest and Bluetooth I thought it was worthwhile??

I was scepticle about the ipod capability buts he's going to try it on a car tomorrow before he adds it to the spec. Other than the fact that it isn't hidden in the glove box I cant see any drawbacks???

Scratch that last post - he just rang to confirm its does work and then rang again to say that its too late as the car has already passed into production controls hands... looks like I'll have to get a Dension Gateway instead??? The dealer did say he'd try to get the Ipod link installed at cost but I doubt that would really be "at cost"...

I was quoted £349 for the ipod interface, although I am now getting it a bit cheaper thanks to me complaining about the extortionate price!!

Problem now sorted so ive been told this afternoon, they are going to re-do the paperwork for me

My car has also gone into build (i guess he meant going through the system) and will be at Specialist towards the end of the month

Then im gonna go in and see it

airbusA346 · Jan 5th, 2008, 03:11 PM

So the spec is frozen for good now.

Also if my eyes are reading things right you didn't spec Chrome Line Interior - Why?

supa-dupa-cooper · Jan 5th, 2008, 04:16 PM

Never really thought about it to be honest Tom

I think the Dooper I borrowed had it?

What does it look like without? Cant say as ive ever really taken much notice!

airbusA346 · Jan 5th, 2008, 04:47 PM

Well Jo instead of chrome rings etc around the speedo etc you get grey plastic, and around the bottom speaker in the doors it will be black.

I will try and find a pic.

The Dooper i had, had black around the speakers but chrome bits around the speedo etc?

Does that mean this one did or didnt have chrome interior?

airbusA346 · Jan 5th, 2008, 04:57 PM

Oh me writing the wrong thing.

If it has not got CLI it will have grey plastic rigns around speedo/rev etc.

If it has got it then it will be like the Dooper.

To get rid of the black plastic rings around the speaker you have to spec Additional Decor Rings.

Which is part of the CHILI Pack think? Well its on my spec sheet but I didnt order it seperate.

Have you got a pic with no Chrome? Lol, maybe I should have paid more attention in the showroom

airbusA346 · Jan 5th, 2008, 05:16 PM

It can be retrofited as far as I am aware if you really wanted it to be, but don't know a price.

I think I prefer it without chrome actually. I havent got it in my MINI and it can look too 'glitzy'

If that is the Fluid Silver interior trim that ive ordered, then it looks good

I never did see a car with it before I ordered, i figured it would be much like mine now which ive always liked

airbusA346 · Jan 5th, 2008, 06:07 PM

That is fluid Silver Jo and it costs £110 when spec'd, but when my brother got his Cooper he didn't spec a trim (so it would be standard) and I swear that the standard trim is Fluid Silver

Hmm dont think I saw a standard one either...makes me wonder what on earth I did actually look at before I ordered mine

Either way Fluid Silver looks fab and is what ive ordered and i prefer it without chrome so good job i didnt order that!

airbusA346 · Jan 5th, 2008, 06:26 PM

When I finally get around to ordering mine, I'll be going for the Piano Black, because I prefer the black on the doors

the Piano Black does look really good, but it shows finger marks so easily!
