If only it was that easy......

The R56 (the MINI youve ordered) comes with the Aux in socket anyway, so you could just buy a cable to plag you Ipod into that, it wont charge it I dont think and you have to scroll the songs manually rather that with the multi funtion steering wheel and/or nav joystick - not that expensive.

OR MINI do another option, the one I want to go for and also the one that is confusing me most!!

This one being an Ipod interface fitted into the top storage compartment on the dash..priced at £195 in the brochure and then whatever the dealer charges to fit and how many hours they reckon it takes (for some very strange reason this seems to vary across the board )

I think what ive said is right?!

Good luck!

So do u plug the ipod lead in under the electric window switches , well at the back of them?
and does the multi function steering wheel then enable you to scroll through tracks on your Ipod..

Not if you only use the Aux in socket.

To use the MFSW and/or joystick you need the Ipod interface fitted.

Thats how I understand it and that is what ive now ordered

Ok thanks. that saves me £175 then, wont bother with the multi function steering wheel, as i hardly used it on my other car. Heated seats instead

If you look in the MINI handbook it'll tell you what to ask for I think it's known as a 3.5mm aux cable.

I got one from HMV for about £10 for our Clubman. As mentioned it doesn't charge your ipod but you can get a car charger off eBay for about a fiver

You'll have trouble looking in the handbook then

Right I've got ours in front of me and it calls it a jack plug 3.5mm, they knew what I meant when I asked at HMV

Don't forget that the socket is underneath the unit, so it is easy to reach, but difficult to see...
