Auxiliary Input for the stereo with the mounting plate missing.

 

Photo is a bit blurry but looks like the the AUX INPUT adapter that MINI offers as a dealer accessory. That is the recommended location for the input end as per the MINI instructions. The kit comes with a little metal plate that covers the hole cut in the side of your glovebox and finished it better, but otherwise your aux input should be functional as is.

Try cycling through the sources (i.e., CD/radio) on your stereo and you should see AUX come up on the screen. Better yet, plug an ipod into it (from the headphone jack).

 

off topic... but what is the round thingie lower right corner?

 

it's the valve to adjust air flow into the glovebox for keeping things hot or cold.

 

Thanks, sure didn't see that in the Manual

 

Yo Skiny You still there
Yo Skinny did you plug your iPod in there yet??

 

Definetly the Aux input jack, but looks to be broken. Plug something in and see if it will play through the radio

 

It looks like its missing a part. What part is it and where is the best place to buy it?
