We’ve got plethora of R56 iPod related PDFs for you today. Because of different configurations of MINI’s new sound-system, there are several official PDFs detailing the installation of the new iPod adapter. However it’s worth noting that all of these instruction include an ECU update (only available at the dealer) in order to let the MINI’s computer know about the new installation.
But once installed, this adapter is one of the best out there – especially with the optional navigation system.

Awesome Three Amigos reference!
Ok so which is the Mini HiFi? Not sure if I have boost or wave… Also how do you know if you have the cd changer prep?
Can you also install a CD changes if you don’t have one?
Of course, you could always just install your own iPod adapter, using the stock head unit, and save yourself lots of cash.
I did, and I couldn’t be happier. Nothing controls the iPod better than the iPod itself. Here’s my install guide.

<p>Hey Michael,
This is for R56 MINIs which yours is not. Your solution will not work for them</p>
<p>Is there a retrofit kit out there for a 2011 LCI built 8/2010? I can’t find anything anywhere and I don’t want to do none factory. It seems there is nothing out there and was told based on the build date that there isn’t anything but I just find that very hard to believe.</p>
