So I purchased an iPod interface that connects to my cd changer connection at the back of my 05 Mini Cooper S. What are some tips w/ pictures or a guide on how to run the iPod wire from the back of the firewall toward the front of the car? I'm also open to running the wires from the cd changer location through the center console. Any help and / or guide w/ pictures would be greatly appreciated.

I want to lay my iPod to rest in either the cubby hole by the cup holders or in the cup holder itself.

well, i ran a really clean setup in my car, try to get it under the rear seat from there tuck it into the rear side panal and then run it in the door sill then run it wherever you need it to be

 

Exactly....

 

I did it guys! I ended up just taking the chance and doing it myself. I ran it from the rear panel where the cd changer is, popped the right rear panel down into the carpet along side the door sill of the passenger side window, ran it across the carpet passenger side then back up past the glove box and behind the stereo down to the cup holders. It's very clean and ran a little extra wire so I can view the iPod up close while driving.



Next project will probably be bluetooth capability. My car is already pre-wired for it so I'll just have to do my research on setup.

 

Exactly the way I'd do it... congrats!

 

congrats on the ipod install.

If you figure out how to hook up an official MINI bluetooth please let us know. I think you will be the first person to have done so.
