yea, i've downloaded the Mini Connected App and also have Jailbroken my iphone 4 and bought displayout so that i can hopefully mirror my full iPhone OS on the mini's display. 
i may have an extra usb Y cable for sale if my baby comes w/the proper cables (bought an official bmw/mini cable on ebay for about $30, official one that has the 3 rings on the headphone plug).
i'm very excited to see what tech my mini coupe has to offer with me being a computer/tech geek. my goal is to post a full Mini Connected w/Nav overview post here if others are interested (along w/videos) once my baby lands and is receieved

Gentle Leader docked Port Hueneme
The Gentle Leader is docked in Port Hueneme. Oh my God... I have not stocked up on detailing supplies yet! What have I been doing the past 10 weeks? 
WW Track & Trace says "Liner Release" and "Customs Release" but does not yet say it has been unloaded.
Anyone know how long it will take to transport to Seattle?

Seeing as I am tech challenged, after reading your post, I kept saying to myself - "you rock, you rock, you rock" Jimmyselix, that'd be so awesome to learn how to be a little techie with my new baby!!!! Can't wait for your posts!!!!

but I know If I bought special supplies he'd use them for my car. So, what do you all suggest I get for him????psichick, I wouldn't be able to keep myself from going down there. Who cares if your MA is off, speak with the Sales mamanger and get in that car & drive away.
Oh and please take pictures. Superchicken,
Whatever you do, please don't pee in the Mini, that'd be a really bad start to a great realtionship!!!!

I would think so. Your almost to the finish line for pick up. Won't be long now. I hope you get it before the weekend, cutting it close though.

Another iPhone app to check out for knowing how to do everything with your Mini with nice video explanations. Mini on Track. https://itunes.apple.com/app/id577576068?mt=8
Drove my wife with this app going through every video a few weeks back with the volume cranked up.

So after 16 days stuck in QA...FINALLY moving to the port. Anyone else gotten any info on transport to Brunswick in the last couple of days?
Looks like next ships from Southampton to Brunkswick are KLine: Chesapeake Highway leaves 3/1/13, and WW: Bess leaves 3/3/13.
I'm still feeling a little like a Gilmoregirl though.

Detailing Supplies
Jolly Rancher, I'm with you, I haven't bought any detailing supplies yet. We have a guy that comes to our building and washes the cars every week (I'm not one to do it myself --- I know, I can feel the sneers from all of you right now) but I know If I bought special supplies he'd use them for my car. So, what do you all suggest I get for him????
psichick, I wouldn't be able to keep myself from going down there. Who cares if your MA is off, speak with the Sales mamanger and get in that car & drive away. Oh and please take pictures.

I will probably be buying A LOT of supplies, including car wash, paint sealant, best of show wax, and maybe some spray-on cleaner and wax for quick touch-ups.
