New Mini Owner with 2 quick questions
Hi All-
I joined the Mini family two weeks ago with the purchase of my beloved Henry- a 2007 Cooper S convertible- dark silver- with a gazillion bells and whistles. I'm still giggling like a maniac when I drive on the highay and have spent many happy hours in the driveway going through the manual.
Anyway, 2 questions- the factory installed giant cup holder that hangs off of the center consule has been remvoed and I can't figure out how to get the cup holder back onto the bracket (I know it will be weird looking, but some mornings only a venti will do.
2nd- can anyone tell me how to get my phone set up with my Mini? I have a little telephone receiver button on the steering and suspect its my bluetooth? P.S. I have an iphone if that makes a difference.
Cheers!
Laura

Yeah, I know what you mean. You gotta go with what works.

Welcome Laura! From what I remember, there are two screws that hold the factory cup holder in place along with some double side tape. The upper screw is visible when the glove box is open.
I replaced my cup holder with the Mini-Fini one (www.minifini.com) - I prefer this as it is more secure. My wife prefers the OEM cup holder.

this site might help with the phone issue. I haven't seen it posted here before, which is a bit surprising because it has a lot of good info for new MINI owners.
