Was told the module was in the boot. Peeled back some trim and believe I've found it. Can anyone confirm? I bought a used one on eBay but the module looks slightly different albeit from a r55.
Google says boot area. Are you saying that it's under the dash behind the radio? I thought that was gen I stuff. Going to peel back the other boot side today and have a look. Thanks for your help so far.
So I have a base model 2008 mini clubman r55 with the following options that are causing problems with my search.
Navigation
Hi-fi radio
Satellite radio
CD changer in the secret compartment
Spare tire in the boot/trunk
Bluetooth with iPod adapter
This is my screen. Everything thing points to the Bluetooth module. My auxiliary does not work either nor can I talk to the car when I push the steering wheel button. It asks for a command and I can't get it to do anything because it can't hear me?? Cigarette lighter fuse was blown but changed it and it works fine now. Bought new auxiliary and USB part and it still doesn't work. I'm lost.
Is there any way the module could be under the driver seat. I removed the passenger seat and found a box containg the speed control and satellite box.
The part I have might be to big to be fit behind the radio. Not excited to pull all that out without knowing for sure. The part you mentioned that could be my issue is probably behind the radio area. Trying to find the part I bought already and see if that works. If not, I'll try your part.
Since most mini's came with run flat tires, many modules were located in a false floor area in the boot/trunk. They didn't make 15" run flat tires back then and the base came with a spare. This base model is loaded with options too.
Appreciate your help. I'm getting real familiar with this car now. LoL
Found it under the driver seat. Didn't have time to remove the seat but did peel back some of the case to reviled the module.
Fourth time looking and stuck Gold. Crossing fingers this solves my Bluetooth issue. I'll report more this weekend. Thanks guys.
ECS TUNING GUY please point me in the right direction or location of the black box Bluetooth antenna you spoke of. It's not under either seat and not in the boot. Any chance it's under the rear seats?
If it's behind the radio area, I believe I can get to it. That is if it's not behind the speedometer or under the dash.
Thanks again and anyone else that has a suggestion please post.
