Absolutely, lets do this!!
Can anyone get the part numbers for the power folding mirrors, I assume from a UK parts catalog? I seriously want to do this install--I have a narrow garage.

In the spirit of OEM gadgets, does anyone know anything about the Rear Park Distance Control? Can it be retrofitted? I found a part number on the MINI UK site, but I've not seen any instructions floating around the web.

The TV tuner maybe a neat gadget, but in the USA it is illegal to have a TV/video screen visable from the front seats. So I would do some checking on the internet with your state transportation department to see if it is legal where you are. You can use the internet and remain comparitively annymous. Or if you know someone in the state police transportation squad you could check with them.

I thought I would start a discussion thread on this, in an attempt to gather any information available into one place. Official part numbers are the primary goal, with which it's a little easier to hunt down and order the parts, even if it is done internationally. I'm not interested in aftermarket solutions at this point, so please keep replies to OEM MINI and/or BMW parts.

The three biggest "gadgets" I've been looking for are:

* MINI Onboard camera system for the Navigation system (actually counts as two gadgets if you separate the front & rear cameras)
* TV tuner option for Navigation system
* MINI Power Folding Mirrors

I have already found the following links on MotoringFile for the camera and mirrors:

The MINI On Board Camera System
Official MINI Rear Camera Retrofit Kit
MINI Power Folding Mirrors
Attack of the Electronic Folding Mirrors!

I don't have any links on a TV tuner for Navigation system, except that I know the Nav system is EXACTLY the same as the BMW model, and they have an official TV Tuner module... so that should work in MINIs too, right?

Does anyone else have any useful information or links to share on these or any other "cool" OEM MINI non-USA add-ons?

I'm bumping this thread, since I have added the full Bluetooth kit to my first post (pricey though it may be!). The part numbers are all available in the PDF of the press release, linked from the MotoringFile story.
