Toe Hook Location?

hello, just got a 2006 mini S, love it, where is the toe hook located?
in the glove? battery box area? also where would the sun roof tool be located?
i know car has run flats, any links for a OEM Mini jack? or would a BMW one work?
thanks michael

Welcome and I hope you love your MINI!!

If you look in the trunk, there should be a foam box next to the battery. in the foam box, there should be a MINI toolkit, the tow hook, and the sunroof crank. As for the Jack....One came with my MINI...even though it came with runflats....sometimes they appear on the Marketplace pretty cheap, or you can get used one from some vendors sometimes...the stock jack is a single sided screw type jack....works pretty well too!!

Sometimes if someone installed a bigger battery than stock, they may have moved the box to the side compartments in the trunk....one side is designed to hold the optional CD changer and satellite radio....the other for an optional roadside emergency/first aid kit that is required in some nations. It could be in either side...I'd take a quick look.

I haven't done an i-pod jack/aux jack so I can't help ya there.....if you do a quick search, a how to might pop up.
As for buying a jack....I know WayMotorWorks used to have one shown on their website...used of course....I don't think it is listed anymore, but in my experience, he has lots of stuff not listed, so I bet he could find you one, or at least get you looking in the right direction. I'd shoot them an e-mail, or call them. I really like using them, and have found them to be very good to deal with.
