I currently have an '02 radio in my mini becuase, well, i own an '02 mini cooper s. I went out and baught an iPod for the simple reason that you can hook it up to the factory radio. Turns out that you need to have an '03 radio or newer for it to work. Please let me know if you are willing to trade a '03 or newer factory radio for mine. Mine is in perfect condition!!!! Not a scratch on it! please let me know by post or by email. DBernstein22@gmail.com
Thank you fellow mini enthusiasts.

P.S. If need be, i will pay a small difference...

I posted this in audio section but i wanted to post here too. I need the radio a.s.a.p.
