Now's your chance to get one of the original Ians Auto-up Modules. Get them while they last. This is probably the best non-performnce mod you can make to your MINI.

Moi o si. After letting it sit on my desk for three months because i didn't want to f*%# up the interior with my hamfistedness i finally gave it a crack. I was unsure whether it would be easy or not since I have an 06 and Ian's excellent instructions referred to the 05's downtubes being harder to take out. Well, regardless of my hamfist when working on car interiors, they're actually quite small so i opted for the "blind" install. After bending my wrist around and holding my tongue in the right position i managed to get the plug in nice and snug. First time no go, but the second attempt had everything working. Auto up w/DSC, plus Auto Front Fogs.
Took about 30 min., including the time it took to drink a cold one for support.
Absolutely awesome! Recommended for everyone. Clear instructions- a no brainer even for novice modders. Thanks Ian!
