Purchasing Online - How to tell if the car has HK system?

I've been looking at Mini Convertibles online and unfortunately dealers are bad at identifying which options were selected on the vehicle and I was wondering if there was an easy way to tell visually if a car had the HK audio spec-ed. Looking at 2010 and above model years.

Thanks,
Chaca

Easiest way to tell visually is the tweeters located where the a-pillar meets the dash. Only cars with the HK system have them and those speaker grilles also have a small Harmon/Kardon logo (ie the full name) written on them.
