Questions from a new Owner.....just bought an '06 Mini Cooper S!

[Lawguy]

Hey guys & gals -

Just bought a 2006 Mini Cooper S last night - love the car. I've had several BMW's before, and think this car is every bit as driver oriented! VERY excited.

Two quick questions...

1. Can I have the dealer install the armrest option? The car doesnt have it, and I think I am going to wish it did.

2. More importantly, is there a way to install an integrated iPod jack into the car without losing the input for the CD player?

Many thanks, in advance!

YES you can have the dealer install the armrest but it's VERY pricey ...
If you have minor skills do it yourself with this :

You can do an FM modulated I pod

Outmotoring is a great company to deal with. I bought their arched armrest and installed it myself. Looks great and really adds to the comfort of the car.
