Navigation & Audio Phatnoise in R56?

Phatnoise in R56?
Is there anyone out there rocking a phatnoise on their R56? I quickly grabbed mine out of the VW before I traded it in, and I'm curious if anyone's tried (successfully or otherwise) to retrofit into the Mini.
I think I have the base soundsystem. I've heard that it's an Alpine-sourced unit.
If noone has the answer to those questions..... can someone tell me what the CD changer connector looks like on the back of the OEM unit?
Thanks everybody!

You should how ever be able to hook it to the AUX input and run it that way as long as you have a controller for the box. I will not be able to be controlled thru the head unit.

Well, it appears that I have the "base" as I don't recall any tweeters in the A-pillars. I was a little underwhelmed with the audio. It was definitely not as good as the base system I had in the Jetta. Oh well, who buys a MINI for the stereo?!?! If I were still driving 100 miles a day it might be enough to get me to upgrade..... for now,I'll live with it, unless there's any "low hanging fruit" I can grab to upgrade the audio.

moondawg,
Just a note for you the base system to many people is a better system than the HiFi. Other will say the opposite but both suck.
With the Base system you do have an upgrade option though that is not to expensive if my memory serves me correctly.
Check this thread it is totally plug an play.
