I am going to purchase a 2005 MCS from a local seller and I was just wondering if they all come prewired for the factory CD Changer. The reason I ask is because I have a BMW Dension IceLink Plus that I purchased for my 330i and was wondering if it was compatible with this vehicle. The IceLink that I have is for the CD changer, not the headunit. Otherwise I'm going to return the IceLink. Thanks!

 

i can confirm that the 03's are pre-wired. i use a blitzsafe and Alpine changer.

 

yes for 2005's, haven't heard that 2006 are any different

 

Another thought here. I had Icelink headunit model in my E46 M3. Took it out when I sold the car, it's the same Icelink unit as the MINI, but with different plug. Bought a new headunit wiring harness for the MINI for $30 from Dension, haven't had time to put it in yet, but I think the headunit hookups are easier from the wiring logistics standpoint. I am guessing that the new harness would work for your's too.

 

Yes...My '06 is pre-wired. It's where I have my iPod adapter connected.
