First time Mini (CM) owner

Hey all, my name is Daryl. I've been lurking here since I ordered my countryman in February. I finally took delivery on Saturday but it is back in having the finally prep done and trying figure out what the armrest snap in iPhone 4 adapter isn't working.

I live up in Calgary Alberta and I own a 2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman All4, Surf blue, white roof.

Anyway, you seem like a nice bunch of car enthusiasts, I'm looking forward to hanging out.

Yeah pretty much and only had two days before it had to go back for the stone shield and a few other things.

Still need to work out the iphone thing and complain to BMW regarding no voice dialling with the CMs made before april 1st. And it needs a name.

Very very happy with the colour and the lounge leather.

Hey Daryl! I pick up my CM tomorrow (ALL4 Manual, True Blue, white roof).

I hear there are lots of problems with the armrest cradle for iPhone and limited features/poor fit for iPhone 4s (there's been some discussion over what the appropriate part number for the cradle even is!).

I have MINI-Connected in mine, so I'll be troubleshooting features with my iPhone too. We should probably start an iPhone 4/Countryman/MINI Connected thread to share what we figure out.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. I don't even have mine yet!

A thread it likely a good idea.

I bought the cradle and the phone fits beautifully, but only charges. The car is at the dealer getting it's final prep so I am hope they have it working. Connect and the iphone integration were a big part of my decision to buy the car.

Thanx for the welcome
