Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a 2002 Mini with a factory head unit, and after trying to utilize an FM transmitter to listen to my Ipod in the car (we all know how those work), I bought this as an alternative. The jack for the changer is in the trunk, so the only work required is to connect the module in the trunk and then run the Ipod connector-cable into the cabin. For me to do this entire process took around 35 minutes; the Mini comes apart fairly easily and after removing the back seat and a portion of the door seal it was smooth sailing (and I'm an amateur).
Now that the installation is done, I am very impressed; I am a big fan of using the steering-wheel mounted controls and didn't want to lose that for my Ipod. This product allows me to use both the FWD/REW buttons and VOL+/- on my steering wheel with my ipod; even better is that I can also utilize the Ipod's clickwheel to select tracks/artists/playlists. This was a big selling point for me, as some products only let you access playlists. I would highly suggest this to anyone with a Mini that would also like to use their Ipod and not shell out the $300 for the Mini integration from their dealer.
To the wingnut reviewer below me who scored the product poorly: as soon as you opened the package and saw that you had to run the cable to the cabin you should've sent it back, instead of whining about false advertising. Or better yet, you could've paid someone to install it for you; if you can afford a BMW i'm sure you can afford the $100 installation.
