New to the forum and new owner of a 2006 mini. Looking forward to learning a lot from everyone about this car. Didn't think I'd ever buy a mini. Do to my wife I bought it and now I can't stop driving it. Lol! What brought me here is that I have the mini with navigation and want to change my radio. But crunchfield states if I go aftermarket my nav will stop working. What? Excited about the car and hope to have fun with the car & this community.

Welcome to NAM.

There is an immense amount of information here on your Gen of Mini between the threads, the members and the Vendors. If you have not already done so, may I suggest you check out the Gen1 Navigation & Audio section? You should find information on your question.

Auburn Greg...The stripes are definitely something that came to mind. My wife keeps telling me to calm down with all the ideas. She said she may not want to drive it do to all the new add ons. This might just work out just for me. Lol:

That's what's great about a MINI - you can line up projects for years ahead. I want to upgrade the exhaust system, change the interior to tan leather and wood, and upgrade the wheels and tires - but those are projects for down the road...

Welcome.

Cordoba Beige and a factory wood dash? Do you have the factory HK upgrade? If so I would just leave it with the nav and get the latest update. The old disk is nla but some people have burned the old disc, they are in this thread.

I'm not even sure if I have the HK upgrade - I'm pretty sure I don't. I bought one of the dealer's loaners as is, and as near as I can figure it has a major part of the Sports Package (but no cornering lights or bonnet stripes [I put those on myself]), the Cold Weather Package (even though I live in California), the Premium Package and the Storage Package. As far as the tan/beige/wood interior, I'll wait a few years and see what's available...
