This is the Ipod interface that MINI offers and connects directly the stock radio and allows Apple Ipods (except Shuffle) to be controlled through the factory radio and steering wheel mounted controls. Basically the stock radio treats the IPOD as an external CD changer and sees playlists as CD's do you can navigate up to 6 play lists and move through the tracks as normal. Does not work if factory CD changer, navigation or satellite radio is installed as it connects through that port on the back of the radio. This is the official MINI version that is sold as an option by the factory and is a perfect fit. Straightforward install makes for a nice (1 hour or so) afternoon project. If this is on the expensive side or you have a different brand of MP3 player please check out the Aux Input cable.
