We're planning a road trip in our 2011 mcs & would like to have a usb port to connect our music into. Is there any info on this subject on this forum ?

 

Yes. You can connect a flash drive with your MP3 files into the existing USB port in front of the front cup holders. I do this with a 32GB drive that I cut the housing off of to keep it small and out of the way.

 

I think the OP is asking if a USB ported can be added?

OP, do you have an AUX port? Need a bit more info on your mini..

 

You're correct AZdsrt, I would like to add a USB port to my '11 mcs. Is there any wiring back there to connect one to ? Thanks for the help.

 

This question comes up from time to time. I did a little poking around, found this -

Your '11 might fall in the needed production date range.

Also found this at ECS Tuning, though might be the same kit.

AZdsrt , that's the early kit up to before 11' production.


In 2011+ MINI went to the dual port , its under the toggle bank / aux port / usb . Before that it was aux port only unless order different or you got the ES1599517 . Upgrade kit.


Pre shrunk check under your toggle bank switches in the center console. You should see them. Then let me know what you want to use.

 

Thanks for the info, guys. I'll get back to y'all as soon as my new shoulder heals & my son will do the install.
