AUX connection questions...

[benuk]

Hello,

Just brought a Mini Cooper S on a 04 plate.

Its got a single CD Player with boost feature (whateve that is ??)

I have a iPhone and want to connec to the AUX connection to play music in my new mini !

I carnt see a option on the controls for the CD player for AUX. But am guessing once i plug the cable in it will appear under the mode selection.

Where and how much does a AUX cable cost ? and how easy are they to fit ?

Any other info/advice would be great

Thanks Ben

I presume that you mean the jack socket in the glove box? a few pounds, try maplins. aux comes up when you press mode or the other button next to it.

I got mine from Ebay.

Have a look here...

The aux cable for the Boost head unit is about £35 from BMW/MINI.

It's a bit of a pain to fit as you have to remove the head unit and that involves taking out a few trim items...etc

There's a few guides with pics on mini2.co.uk if you look in the faq/diy section.

When the aux lead is in, you get an 'aux' option when you press the source button.

Hello,

I managed to fix the AUX lead yesterday and its working great !

BMW main dealer wanted to charge £60 for the lead, got the same one of ebay for £40!!

Like you said theres loads of guides on mini2.com that was a massive help.

I had to remove the glove box, which was 5 screws ! really reall easy.

When the glove box was removed it gave access to the rear of the head unit.

Plugged the aux into the free port and thats it ! it then showned the option on the head unit for tuner, cd & aux.

I then just ran the cable into the glove box.

Hope this helps someone else.
