I searched and could not find information on the dash kit...

I understand I need a aftermarket dash kit, but do I also need the wiring
harness and antenna package.

The ebay auction states it comes with

Those probably wont fit the mini cooper, or will they?


I just want to make sure I have everything I need, as my friend is going to help
me install this weekend.


Again, thanks for the help.

You are correct on the harness. It will be a generic one for the radio and will not be plug and play. I believe you will also need the antenna adapter as well.

Crutchfield shows it's a discontinued head unit but you might be able to get a harness from them that is pre wired for the MINI.

 

do you have steering wheel controls OP?

 

Na, don't think I really want the steering wheel controls, for an extra $60...I'll pass. I guess if I feel I want it down the road, can always add on.

So, you think I should purchase the dash kit with the harness/antenna...the works.
