HK amp question

Does any one know if the BMW e46 HK amp will work in the mini? The plugs are the same.

I'm willing to bet yes... Many BMW/MINI parts are exactly the same. From a production standpoint it makes sense to manufacture or buy from a manufactured many of the same item.

not according to past thread

This thread says nope "the e46 hk amp will work, but not correctly... it does not recognize control input from the head unit and not all the channels will produce sound... i tried one from my wifes 2000 323ci in my 04 mcs... "

Good luck... Most people end up just re-doing the entire system for that cost.

Yes, its the HK system that's in the MC. I was hoping to get more for it just to off set the cost of having to buy it with the radio. Paid $450 for both radio and amp. Maybe i just over paid.
