Aux Cord part number

My daughter wants an Aux plug for her stock R52. I watched a video on YouTube stating that the dealer has a plug in to the back of the radio (with a square plug). Does anyone have a part number or a place to get an aftermarket Aux Cord?

Here’s a link to the MINI cable: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/82110153367/

A member just just recently installed this aftermarket cable which is less than 1/3 the price:

Amazon

Depending on the configuration of your car, it might be necessary to transfer the pins from the aux cable plug to the existing plug on the radio with either cable, no cutting/splicing of wires should be needed as incorrectly mentioned the video I saw.

I pulled the radio and there is no extra plug. I will have to research to find out what pins it is.

Edit: figured out the NAV is the yellow wires. I need to remove them and put them into the new aux plug.
Thanks.

I would put the aux wires into the NAV plug in case the pins get damaged removing them. It would be better to have something go wrong with the cheap aux cable than the harness for the NAV. The MINI installation instructions include the additional steps for the pin relocation when necessary. If the MINI cable doesn't come with instructions they can be found online.
