so last week i motor up to the corner "quikkie store" for a cup of coffee and something sweet to go with it
as i walk out the door, i see Mr Statetrooperman has parked his car behind my CMS All4, blocking me into the pull-in parking space and HE is standing behind my CMS All4 looking at the tags (or so it appears) ....
OH OH! what did i do now?
:confuse d:
i am just standing there and he looks up and says "is this your car, sir?"
my first thought is to deny, deny, deny and steal another car ....
but i say "yes it is"
he says "nice car, WHAT IS IT? i know it's a MINI, but IT HAS 4 DOORS"
BIG SIGH!
and into the sales pitch i go
i think i am now down to 3 lives left out of my original nine, there are some other interesting stories for the other 5 lives

So can anyone who has an ihpone 4s tell me if they hear a humming sound through the speakers when trying to listen to the ipod portion of the phone? I'm guessing it's because it's an iphone and the radio is causing interference. I'll try to hook up my ipod touch via bluetooth and listen to the music that way (or I guess I could just hook it up and not plug in the iphone?). Let me know if any of you has heard humming... Thank you!
But honestly, I think it sounds pretty clear. I'll listen a little closer on my way home tday and let you know.

How are you trying to listen to it?
A) Are you using the Y-adapter? (usb + headphone jack)
B) Just a Headphone Jack?
Do you have the standard audio system or the MINI Connect/Nav?

I'm using the Y-adaptor. I have the Harmon/Kardon system. I'll hook up the ipod and see if that does the same thing.

That being said... With the H/K package, it should really sound quite crisp and clear. So if it's not, I might have it checked out.

Anything about your MINI driving you crazy yet?
Every time I open the doors or boot, there is condensation dripping everywhere. (From the rain, obviously...)
My purse is apparently heavy enough to signal the passenger seat seat belt tone to go off. FYI....I don't consider my purse heavy.
My hubby keeps asking if he can take my MINI to work with him.
So far....that's it.

I do find that the Y-cable is cumbersome and the aux jack can come unseated, causing a loss of sound and/or video. I'd rather use the cradle but think it's way overpriced.

OK so I just hooked up my iPod in Winston and it too hummed. I checked the cable connection and one of the cables was a little loose so I pushed it in all the way and voila! It works now 
I also changed my ambient lighting to purple. I'm in a purple mood lol

So, instead, I keep it on the Driving Excitement and watch how much torque and horse power I'm using. Also the Forcemeter is pretty cool... especially if you like hard turns.

I actually found the Minimalism Analyser a little conservative in "motoring". It seemed to get the good stars and scores, I really had to tame my driving.

Just noticed the 2013 configuror is up and running on miniusa.com. In addition to the bluetooth/ipod now standard and satellite radio not (which I think is a good trade off), there are a few more trim packages available. But no more Rooster Red/Black seats , but you can now get Lounge Leather in Championship Red trim on a non-JCW.
Kinda glad that option wasn't available when I ordered or I probably would have been shelling out the extra $1000 for them!
