Bluetooth... Navigation... SIRIUS

hey guys my name is beck and I posted about my issue in first gear about getting a LEMON from mini.. anyway I'm getting a new car and was wondering if blue tooth.... navigation and sirius were options that can be installed at the dealer when my baby arrives?

I have been sitting in a loaner now for over 2 weeks, maybe another 2 so I want to see if they can add these options for me

many thanks
Beck

Bluetooth and Siruis yes. Navigation is a big NO unless you want to spend about twice what it costs when you get it from the factory.

I had a lemon MINI too. It was a terrible mess. In the end, I was treated right by my dealer and got a new car and so I can't complain (other than for all the stress that was involved). It really sucks, but it does happen I guess.

What mdsbrain said - I don't even think they'd add the nav or warranty it.

I'll tell you, two devices that have saved me numerous times have been the car navigation and the V1, wouldn't want to do without them. I have not been a fan of add-on nav since I don't like the placment options, smaller screen, or having to remove/hide it all the time, but the Nuvis look very good (the 360 even has bluetooth) and would be handy to use on the motorcycle as well

What mds said.
Try the Nuvi 360.
I have added the mic and have an option for my aux input if I'm at highway speed and want to route it thru my amp.
