Can anyone tell me if the base radios that arefactoryinstalled in Cooper S convertables and hardtops 2007+ are the same manufacturer and models? I am now in the market for a Cooper S hardtop. I have a Toyota Camry, now,and installed a USA SPEC adaptor to control an ipod from the radio, which works great. USA SPEC has an adaptor for the 2007 Cooper convertable, but no mention of the hardtop. Ifthe radios are the same, I am anticipating that adaptor will work on the hard top. I know that Mini offers an in glovebox ipodconnection controlled at the radio, but the after market USA SPEC is about half the cost.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Joe
