Can You Install BMW/MINI Integrated iPod adapter On Any MINI?

Hello, I wanted to know if I could install an integrated ipod adaptor (the one that comes with the MINI) on any mini cooper?? The 2002 I'm interested in does not have an ipod adaptor, but I'm willing to pay the $500 or whatever to get it.

I just want to know if it is possible. Thanks

Not sure about the factory adapter (though I would think it would work, but others would have to verify). But the DICE Link will work on a 2002.

Edit: by the way, here's the "official" DICE discussion thread:

Posts #663 and 664 discuss the compatibility with 2002 MINIs

By the way, I am not affiliated with DICE -- I'm just recommending it based on numerous complaints of the factory interface. You can go to the Nav & Audio forum, do a search for ipod and find more info than you probably care to read through

iPod Adapter

I am pretty certain you can install the BMW/MINI iPod adapter into any 2002-2006 (MC/MCS) and 2005-2008 Cabrio. If you are contemplating buying one, go with the DICE iPod Adapter, that way you can use the integrated multifunction switch on the steering wheel to select your tracks AND you do not have to have a "MINI" specific folder for the iPod.

What they said. If you just want the basic adapter kit, it's available from Moss, Mini Mania, and the dealers.
