6 disc changer and tape player in R53 S

[AndyP & Lenore]

Finally persuaded one of my mates (and employee's) to join the MINI community. He's bought a 2004 Cooper S Hyper Blue with Chilli pack from Peter Vardy.

His new car has a Radio/Tape player with a 6 disc changer in the boot. He's wondering if it is possible to stick an aftermarket head unit in place of the tape player? Also, will his 6 disc changer in the boot have a standard output to an aftermarket head unit? or will it only plug into his MINI tape player head unit?

Can anyone help?

Cheers Stoney.;)

I think his idea is to put a head in that will take an input from his MP3 player, so you're right, he probably won't need his 6 disc.

I'll pass on the info.

Cheers,

why not get him to ask mikethemini. That way you will know for sure what you can and can not do.

Depends what type of functionality he wants for his MP3 player to decide which way to go for a head unit and also depends what type of MP3 player.

Kenwood have some very good kit that shows iD Tags etc, best to contact mikeythemini to confirm best route :)

Cheers Alan & Fiona,

I'll give him Mikey's details.

I've been persuading him to register on here, but he doesn't have any Internet access at home:rolleyes: . Need to get that sorted too.;)
