WARNING: this post contains a four letter word considered obcene by some

I'm still settling into my 2009 Clubman, and am looking for a better solution for playing music from my Zune. It really gets old having a USB cable for charging, and an audio cable for sound running across the floor, and up onto the seat where the Zune sits. So, I set about searching, and stumbled across the SoundGate BMWZNAUX1.

This sounds like a perfect solution, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit, or knows of something similar. From what I read, SoundGate is the only licensed producer of auto kits for the Zune, so I'm assuming that if this option doesn't work well, then I'm stuck with Medussa's nest of tangled cables.

Thanks in advance for your responses

 

LordRybo,

Although Zune is a 4 letter word, I at least will for give you.

As for this unit it, Unfortunately from the reading i have just done on it, it will not work with the current MOST (Media Oriented System Transport) in the car. The MOST system is how the car parts talk to each other in these days of computers.

This kit, if it is to work on a BMW/Mini must be used with the CD player input, which if not installed on your car, means having that installed as well (usually just a programing change).

The only way to know for sure is to call the manufacturer and ask them if it is designed to work with MOST Sytems in the BMW line. But the answer is probably not as all the cars that it is listed to work with a different type of comptuer communictations system in the vehicle.
