How can I add the Bluetooth phone hardware?

This is one feature I now regret not ordering. Anyone know where I can get the hardware/harness to add it to the car now? We already have the armrest.

2007 or 1st Gen?

If 1st Gen, you have a few choices. If you have nav and want then on-screen stuff, EAS has a solution and it is about 800 bucks. It is also better than the OEM which runs above 1200 dollars.

If you are on a tighter budget, Parrot EVO is more like 250 dollars. You can get this from www.newministuff.com and it is pretty much plug and play (no nav support).

No biggie, you kinda posted in the wrong forum which is what I thought. That is why I asked.

I think that Tom's solution is only good on the 1st Gen.

Check this out... (Mikey deals with Americans all the time.)

Correct, we're 1st generation We're completing the non-NAV version and already beginning development on the 2nd Gen MINIs.

Another option is to get a bluetooth compatable portable GPS such as the popular Garmin Nuvi 360. I just got one and my phone was not listed as being supported but it worked anyway... very nice surprise.

I just received an email from NewEgg.com about a Motorola Handsfree Bluetooth adapter. It looks like a very good deal ($55 with FREE shipping) and I tend to trust Motorola when it comes to communications. Take a look at the link provided below, the free shipping is good thru Feb. 24, 2009...(Free shipping with promo code EMCLNNR45)
