Gen 1 or Gen 2 ? Are you looking for the install the armrest or the factory snap in adapter ? For the wiring for a factory snap in adapter , you have to have the MINI wired package , can be added.

Here is an example of how it looks now (not my image, but same situation):
Basically I want to replace whatever is inside the armrest compartment and use it to connect my Android device (or any device that uses a micro-USB port).
Is this possible?

Follow that hack and then get the micor usb hook up or andriod hook up.
Otherwise if you already have the base ? With those connections at the back ? Not just a storage unit. You can get the snap in , it will only charge the phone. So streaming music or anything. Do you have the MINI connected or MINI wired system ?
What andriod ? What phone ?

As for the base, it comes with the car, so yes, it's there. However, the snap in is quite expensive (if it's what I think it is). I am not sure what the difference is between MINI Connected and the wired system.
My Android device is a Galaxy S5.

I'd like to know how to change the arch parking light lenses that sit on the black plastic fenders around the front wheels. I've gotten behind the wheel-well liner and replaced the white bulbs with amber ones so I can still adhere to state regulations. Now I want to change the amber arch lenses with clear ones that I've bought and I've seen how that's more complicated. If I'm requesting this improperly, sorry. But thanks for any help!

You're very welcome! Yes, that is just our wheel trim arch removal and it goes over removing the lens to put into a new wheel arch. If you have access to the bolts and lens without removing the arch, which you should, you wont be required to remove them. The article will just give you some nice detailed images to show you what items you'll need to access in order to remove the lens from the wheel arch.

I have taken the bolts off and can't seem to pull it off..I was told there is a clamp of some kind as well and I don't see it...I looked on Pelican and it says see are article on Intake removal and I cant find it...Pelican,ECS anyone! where in the hell is this clamp that holds the intake manifold on?. Dec 26 I'm cleaning the valves (walnut Blasting) I have changed the pressure regulator valve and all I did was pull the intake away far enough to reach that valve and replace. I then could not remove the intake Mani. So Any help would be appreciated.

How do I clean these connectors. They plug into the Junction box. It was caused buy water when my right side sun roof drain was not connected and water ran down the A-pillar post and filled up the passenger side with about 4 gallons of water. I really do not want to cut these connectors off and re-wire new ones on. Advise is greatly appreciated.

Try a wooden toothpick or dental pick to scrape off the worst of the corrosion. Then try electrical contact spray cleaner. Finish it with some canned air to make sure you get all the bits out. These methods have worked for me in the past when I played with electronics for a living. Good luck.
