New to me and my Newby questions

I have been looking for the right opportunity for a year, and now I have my dream! 2005 MCS DS/B. One disappointment was the lack of a owners manual. I have downloaded a manual for the car, but I don't have one for the Harmon Kardon radio/CD player.

Does anyone know where I can get a manual for the radio?
I had Sirius in my last car and would like to add it my MCS, Since Sirius was an option when new, can it be added?
The old car had an Aux in for my Ipod. Any suggestions on adding one?
The car only came with one key. Any suggestions on getting another?

It's great to belong to such a great community of Mini owners!

I don't believe there is an official manual, I did print something out a long time ago that explained the system. I'll have to look for it.

Sirius can be added.

Do a search for aux input, not sure if it's a DIY.

You can get another key from the dealer.

You can install the AUX or an iPod Adaptor. Both are available from places like Moss or Mini-Mania.

Thanks to the guys that responded. I checked on Moss and Mini-Mania. I did not know about either of them. Great information! That's why we joined the site. Thanks to paynemdMINI for the info on the radio. Seems odd that there were never any instructions with the radio.
Next question if anyone knows. My old car had a Sirius COMPATABLE radio, and I bought a Sirius module that is buried in the dash somewhere. Can I use that module with the Harmon Kardon? Is the HK radio Sirius compatable?

I recieved a trifold manual for my 06 MCS's HK system, it is called Boost Radio or something like that. All it describes is how to navigate the deck, The deck is very intuitive, so in about 5-10 minutes you will figure out everything that is listed in that manual.
