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.
Navigation & Audio SIRIUS and CD changer, can you have both at the same time?
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).
