Hi, all.

I got my R56 just before Christmas last year, and it has the Premium Package. Just checking things out, I see that this package includes the dual-pane sunroof and the Harmon Kardon stereo... but as far as I can tell, mine's just got the basic stereo.

Is the HK unit labeled as such? If I was supposed to get the HK, I guess I should call MINI of St. Louis and see what they have to say.

Tnx,

Spridget

 

My HK system has a tweeter on each of the A Pillars with Harmon Kardon written out on them. Otherwise, I don't see anything indicating an HK stereo.

Cheers!!

 

According to my MA, there was a brief period of time where they ran out of HK sound systems at the factory. They made cars with the premium package but regular sound. I believe they also reduced the price of the package...

 

ZJHoward nailed it...

 

Depends on the year of the car as well. 2010: should have the HK but as zjhoward said could have fallen through the cracks with the HK running out. If it is a 2009, then no HK...

 

Unfortunately I am in the same boat, I have the Premium Package but it did not include the HK system. The HK system is i guess now in the Premium Plus Package, its an extra 400 bucks or so and IMO is more than worth it. So far I love my mini but being a music lover I must say I am thoroughly saddened by my inferior sound system.

 

As was posted there was a period of time when they first put the HK system option in place where the supplies where limited. At that time the only way to get a HK system was to have ordered either a Camden or Mayfair special edition car with the HK system. That shortage lasted less than 3 months if I remember right. So even if you ordered a car with the HK set up around sept of 09 till about dec 09 you coudlnt get the HK sound system. Actually the shortage didnt last even that long I dont think. I think my car was built in Nov 09 and it has the HK system.... It rocks too.
