I've been looking for pictures of what the back of the Harman Kardon stereo looks like. If anyone has a link or pictures, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

 

It looks exactly the same as the non-HK!

 

Well, unfortunately, I don't even know what that looks like. Does it have an input jack? I bought a cable to go from my iPod to my headunit in my '01 Jetta, but I didn't know if there was an input jack on the back or I would have to do the Aux cable/other iPod options... Thanks.

 

Here you go:

You'll find a few of the pictures on that page, as well as a PIN diagram compliments of GBMINI

 

That's where I needed to link to - thanks Ben !

 

is this the same back layout for a '06 model? because the diagram says pre '03

Also does anyone have the diagram that is more clear/better quality? since its pretty much unreadable.

thanks

 

The original is from MINI2 and I find it readable enough ...

I don't know of any newer drawing, and I think this one is basically still suitable for '06 MINIs.

 

Thanks, so how do you tell which version deck you have? A, B, or C?

 

Version A/B/C?

There's a big label on the bottom of the head unit with part number, serial number, build date, software revision, etc - that's probably the closest you'll get to identifying which features are present.
Features that appeared over time include H/K compatibility, AUX input compatibility, satellite radio compatibility, MP3 data file playback. The display of iPod tags (with a Dension ICElinkPlus) also requires a more recent unit.

 

Thanks a bunch!
sorry for the dumb question like that, I am getting my MCS in may, so instead of fooling with the car, I only have these forums till i get the car, but all this info is greatly appreciated, thanks again.
