MFSW - what aftermarket stereos will work with it. NEW - phones linked to new MFSW

I get asked plus I see lots of questions on Mini2 about getting aftermarket stereos to work with the Multi Function Steering Wheel so I have made this guide.
The latest wheel (with phone buttons) can be linked to various phone kits; see below

UNIVERSAL SWIX
Works with most makes of stereos providing you have an IR remote for them (except hi band Sonys). Programable & can be reprogrammed if you change your stereo.
Has an IR LED which requires mounting and also needs a wire chopping under steering column. See Authorized dealer info for compatibility list.

PHONE HANDS FREE KITS
We now have adaptors to link hands free kits to the new MFSW with phone buttons & in some cases stereo & nav display.

Bluetooth interface; 2 versions available Wave or Boost. This links the Parrot evo bluetooth kit to the wheel & stereo. There is no need to mount the parrot controller as the 2 wheel buttons replace it. Functions; Answer/end call from the wheel, activate voice dial from wheel, call is played through car speakers. This interface is plug & play.

Cradle type hands free kit interface; Available for Boost. Ths links various cradle type hands free kits to the wheel, stereo & even sat nav. Using all the buttons on the wheel functions available; answer/end call, scroll through phone book, select & call, volume. The phone book/caller ID are displayed on the stereo and if fitted - sat nav screen, the call is played through the stereo. The interface is plug & play.
Compatible kits/phones;
Nokia cark91 - 5110, 6110, 6150, 6210, 7110, 6210i, 6310, 6310i

Ericsson HCA20 - t68, t68i, p800, p900, t300, t610, z600

We also now have MFSW relays - if you dont have a phone kit then why not use the phone buttons on your wheel for something else? e.g. garage opener, radio mute, starter etc

Doctor Wha? · Jul 18, 2003

Mikey,

Thanks for posting a comprehensive list. I might have to get a new HU now, since the P4020 I have at the moment doesn't seem to have a remote jack.

Unless you know something I don't... ?

Thanks much,
DW

froggert · Jul 18, 2003

hi mike.

i thought that the plug and play adaptor did not fit the pioneer deh-p3500 (non-mp3)?

roger

mikeythemini · Jul 18, 2003

sorry roger - typo - corrected.

Guest · Jul 18, 2003

Mike,

Quick question, with the programmable IR adaptor where did you mount the IR part? I'm planning on fitting mine saturday.

Cheers

J.

mikeythemini · Jul 18, 2003

in the small triangle bit between the gear surround and the 2 cup holders

Guest · Jul 18, 2003

Cheers mike!

minhi · Jul 18, 2003

Mikey, what do you mean by steering remote ready for the Alpine units? Does that mean any Alpine that has an IR remote?

Just curious as I didn't think Alpine had a port for hard-wired connections.

mikeythemini · Jul 18, 2003

minhi, some alpines do have a hard wire socket, my adaptor requires this. The list above is the UK 2002/3 models that have it. I am going to get a list of USA models that have it also.
Mike

mikeythemini · Jul 29, 2003

It appears that no USA pioneer units have the remote fscility looking at their website. If anyone knows otherwise please let me know

pesos · Aug 7, 2003

any update on US models?

thanks guys,
Wes

pesos · Aug 7, 2003

alpine 7998 a possibility?

mikeythemini · Aug 7, 2003

Alpine 7998r is listed above
mike

pesos · Aug 7, 2003

so the us version works fine as well?

thanks mike,
Wes

mikeythemini · Aug 7, 2003

If it is a 7998R it should be fine. I just tried to check the spec on Alpine North America site, but its down.

pesos · Aug 7, 2003

bummer - that head unit is quite pricey here in the us anyways, so i'm thinking of going with the sony cdx-m850mp instead. i'm tempted to just leave the stock head unit in though -- would the sound quality be quite a bit better with aftermarket? probably going to have a couple 10" subs running off my xtant x1001 amp and some boston acoustic components up front running of a quality 2 channel amp... will the HU make a noticeable difference, or could i get away with just staying stock?

thanks mike,
Wes

ButtonIt · Aug 14, 2003

A new HU will make a big difference. For a start you can use RCA's into your amps (better sound quality) and they generally have better functionality than a standard HU. Also RCA's make running multiple amps easier, they are also less succeptible to noise induction from power cables etc.

pesos · Aug 14, 2003

ah, i didn't realize the stock hu didn't even have preouts, ouch! guess i'll go with the sony then... any other models people think look decent in the mini? most hu's stick out like a sore thumb :-(

Wes

Wychall · Aug 27, 2003

Any ideas on a Blaupunkt Woodstock? I fancy the DAB but having specified MFSW I don't want to lose function (Car delivers next Monday! Can't wait!)

Happy Hippo · Sep 1, 2003

According to Blaupkunt technical help, they should have a MFSW adaptor out very soon. Designed to work with the Woodstock.

Wychall · Sep 3, 2003

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!

MFSW adapters in South Africa

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 16, 2003

I ship worldwide. What stereo r u fitting??
Mike

BugEyedGremlin · Sep 17, 2003

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 18, 2003

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

donald · Oct 5, 2003

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
