Would like help with some of the build sheet codes and descriptions

I have 2 first gen MINI's, a 2004 R53 S hardtop and a 2006 R52 JCW convertible......I was going through the build sheets that I have printed off for both cars. Most of the descriptions of the car's options are pretty self explanatory, with the exception of the ones I posted below. Any help on what these code descriptions are meaning would be helpful

S470A Isofix-System (Huh??)
S493A Storage compartment package (what's included?)
S650A Radio BMW reverse (no clue what this is, says CD player on both build sheets)
S657A Radio Bavaria C Reverse III (Radio Boost) (again, no clue, only listed on the R53 sheet)
S895A Additional Fan (where's this extra fan located?)
S925A Dummy-SALAPA (pretty sure this build sheet called me a Dummy)

OK....discuss......keep in mind that both cars still retain the stock radio headunit with built in CD player, and the R52 has the HK Audio system, the R53 is the stock sound system. Now the '04 R53 does have the trunk mounted 6 disc CD changer, but I cannot find it on the build sheet

As a parent, I recognized the term Isofix right away (link). In the Owners Manual, it is called the LATCH system.
Boost is the upgraded head unit that was standard in the US. There was a lower grade head unit that was standard in Europe (called Wave).
For the others, just go down the list and enter each into Google. You will get good results.
I'm pretty sure the CD changer was a dealer installed option, and wouldn't be on the build sheet.

Thanks, so the "additional fan" is actually the power steering fan under the car? Didn't all Mini's have that fan?

Yea, I seem to recall that the 6 disc changer was a dealership item, sorry, my bad.
