New member, new (to me) car

Greetings!
I just bought a 2009 "Mellow Yellow" MCS. It needs a bit of work (clutch, unfortunately), but only has 23K miles on it. I really like the car, but it came without a manual. I found the online version and have answered many questions there, but one lingers.

The car has every option except a heated windshield, I think. If I pull out the bottom of the center armrest, there appears to be a connector of some sort. I think this is for an iPhone, but I haven't been able to find anything online that looks like it will fit. Later Mini's have a wider armrest and I have found the adapter for those, but nothing for mine.

Any help out there?

You might be lucky at 23k miles that it is only the clutch fluid that needs changed. Post some pics

Congrats on your new ride! You may want to use the NAM VIN decoder to get a complete list of the options your car came from the factory with. Might help you figure out what that connector is. Good luck.
