I just purchased my second Mini Cooper. I had a 2005 Cooper and just purchased 2009 S. WOW! I love it. It rides smoother and the manual transmission is much smoother.

Question:

Does this model not have the automatic radio control with slower speeds?
One of the things I liked in my 2005 was that the radio turned volume down when I came to a stop light or slowed down.

Any help is appreciated.

 

My '07 has auto volume for the radio/CD player.
Welcome to Gen 2. Enjoy the ride!

 

Congrats! The auto volume control on mine also works with the AUX input which I use a lot since I have a bunch of MP3 files on the USB stick. The feature is nice, but would be nicer if it adjusted the volume up after I pull out of the garage/parking lot and drop the top, but I need to manually increase it then the system kicks in and keeps it from blowing out my ears when I slow down again (which I try to do as little as possible). I think the audio system would be great if it remembered the last volume setting instead of going to a default level everytime I start the car. I mean if they can store our "user" profile on the key fob, why not put the darn sound level settings there also?

 

Hooray for your second MINI! Post some pics if you get a chance!
