Bluetooth help/advice needed

Hi, I have a 2012 Cooper SD with no chili pack or anything. It has a mini boost cd radio in black. i've had mfsw controls fitted so I could get cruise and radio controls. I do a lot of driving and would love to get the phone stuff working in the car. I am told by the dealership I don't have a fibre optic interface which most systems like fiscon would use to connect.Does anyone have any ideas what other options I have, if any? I am based in the UK if that makes any difference. Thanks very much, Amanda

Check out http://newministuff.com/2nd-gen-phone-kits-37-c.asp.
They are located in the UK.

I'm in the U.S. and had them ship me their custom wire harness. It is plug and play. Easy. Adds Bluetooth calling etc when combined with a product like Parrot.

Thanks for the reply. I want to use the buttons on my wheel and radio as if it was an oem fit. The product that will do this is the Fiscon mini pro kit but it requires the fiber optic input on the rear of the radio. It is this input I don't have which I am looking for a solution to. My dealership told me I don't have this. I think it's also known as the MOST system.

The parrot with harness from new mini stuff uses the stock buttons on MFSW.
