MINI Connected: Can you connect an iPod and an iPhone simultaneously?
I use an 80GB iPod to store virtually my entire CD library compressed to MP3 format at 256kbps. I would like to be able to plug my iPod in to the MINI Connected system and leave it there for access to my music library.
While I don't own an iPhone yet, I intend on getting one (when they are released by Verizon) and would like to use it in the Countryman as well for making calls and using the MINI Connected app (streaming Pandora, web radio, Google Local, etc.).
Is it possible to interface both devices simultaneously? How does the system manage device selection? Anyone try this yet?

Hi all, I just bought my first MINI COOPER hardtop, 2009. It is being certified so I will not be picking it up for probably over a week :( Anyway, my question is: I have an old 5th generation 40GB ipod I still love and my iphone 4 (i do not use for listening to music). I have the bluetooth/ipod interface thingy (the usb/aux inputs) and I need a Y cord I am hoping the dealership will give me. So, can I connect my iphone via bluetooth to make calls and the ipod to hear music simultaneously? This would be great if it all works properly...been reading many folks can't connect properly, this makes me sad! I hope mine works! I can't wait to get my mini!!

Why would you want to use an iPhone and iPod together? Seems so difficult with the USB/aux cable. I just use my iPhone - with my music collection- so I only need one device and connect this with the MINI cable to the USB/aux input. I can listen to my albums, answering or making phone calls at the same time. Or maybe I don't understand the problem.

Some of us have large music collections that won't fit on the smaller storage of an IPhone.

I have both and I will try it later to see if that works, ok? Or if someone already knows if that works we'll read about it. I will post later!

Hi Jennilinde
I just came back from a ride, plugged in the iPod and had my iPhone in my purse. I was able to listen to the iPod songs as well to make calls through Bluetooth. Of course, music pauses/mutes when you make a call. I tried both cabes, MINI cable (which also recharges the iPod same time) and then just the AUX cable. No matter which one you use, you would still be able to see the songs/artists playing on the tachometer display screen :-)
So have fun with it!!

Wow! Thank you so much for doing that for me! I am so excited to get my car, and I am kind of a techy freak, so I'm very excited to play with all the options. I was searching for answers to this, so now I know I can pick up the car with both my devices, pair, plug, and go! Yay! Now if only the next week would go by quicker! Thank you again!

Is the USB port in the glovebox an extra, or do you get it if you have the USB under the armrest?

I am glad I bought the 6 speed, I'm excited to drive a stick again, thus the need for bluetooth and ipod integration
