Navigation & Audio SIRIUS and CD changer, can you have both at the same time?
Navigation & AudioBring your GPS and favorite CD or MP3. This is where navigation and audio options for the Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs are discussed.
Both the OEM Sirus and Blitzsafe XM adapters have pass through connectors. Plug one into the CD changer harness and it then provides a cable that connects to the CD changer or iPod adapter.
Actually, you'll often need to buy the extra cable separately, but yes, this is very doable. I have both the OEM SIRIUS receiver and a CD changer substitute (Intravee+Alpine KCA-420i iPod adapter setup). As aDeLoreanGuy stated, the OEM SIRIUS & aftermarket Blitzsafe XM adapters both allow "pass-through" cabling to retain your CD changer (or substitute device).
