Mini Cooper Retrofit Kits
BMW Has TWO Bluetooth solutions
for the Mini Cooper. One option Nav Mini for Minis
equipped with the Multifunctional Steering wheel and Navigation and the second option for Mini Cooper & S (equipped with Harmon Kardon built since 09/03
and without Harmon Kardon built since 03/02). The non-nav
option can be used in Minis with Navigation but you will not
see any information ont eh navigation display or be able to use the
steering wheel controls to operate. The version for cars with
navigation is much more integrated into your Mini displaying phone
specific information on your navigation display and operates via the
multifunctional steering wheel controls. The trade off is the
price. The navigation only version is fully integrated into
your Mini although cost a bit more. We much prefer
the full integration, but the ultimate choice would be yours.
The
below information talks about BMW, but the Mini with navigation system
is identical to the BMW system.

The
nice thing about
Bluetooth is you do not need to physically connect your
cellular phone to your Mini. You can keep
your phone
in your pocket or purse and still use all of the functions.
Any of the pictures showing the cellphone phone in a cradle are just
illustrating the optional charging and the boosting of your cellular
phone antenna using the optional
Snap in adapters.
With the Mini navigation bluetooth system system you can use the Mini
steering wheel and Navigation controls
to navigate your cellular phone phonebook, dial numbers, increase
volume, etc. The system also allows for the voice control of
your cellular phone, voice control of your navigation system and
notepad (to save a message to yourself for later replay). The
system operates just as a factory
installed phone would operate in a BMW with the added benefit
of voice
recognition and voice control of phone and navigation.
