I just helped my college Senior daughter buy a Pepper White Cooper. It has the options she wanted in the premium and winter packages but we had to take the standard sound system. We live in Rhode Island. Can anyone suggest someplace within 100 miles where we can take the car and upgrade the audio system without losing the factory head unit and its IPod integrated connection. I am not handy, so I am just looking for somewhere to take it. You know kids, they like it LOUD! The assistance from the MINI community is appreciated. Thank You.

 

What year of Cooper? That makes a huge difference.

 

2009 Pepper-White Black Top/ Black Racing Stripes Cooper coupe, (not an S)

 

Ah OK - well I'm afraid I can't help you too much with that (I know a lot more about the options for 1st Gen MINIs), but I'm sure that others here can. In order to help find that best, I'm moving this thread to the 2nd Gen Navigation & Audio forum.

 

Look in the yellow pages. Any reputable stereo shop should be able to help you out. Go some place that just does car audio.....
