USB pinout on AUX in plug
2002 R53
Installing this (pic)
It is nice how it goes into the slot in the glove compartment.
The AUX plugs into the stereo fine (haven't tested it yet as the car is going through a rebuild)
I didn't expect to find a receptavcle for the USB port however:
1) is there one?
2) how about wiring into a 12v>5v/USB converter?
Default approach is backtracking the pins using the diagram below and cut the wire. https://www.electroschematics.com/wp...usb-pinout.jpg
The release tabs are on the side. I recommend removing the glove box. It's only a few torx screws. I ended up breaking the tabs to remove. Would have been really hard to remove with glove box installed even if I knew how to remove it already.

Correct, 1st gen MINI’s didn’t have USB ports so no place to plug in the green connector.
Adding power from a 5V USB adapter should work, but I would look online for a 2nd gen wiring schematic to see if the green plug is supplied by 12V or 5V, or look inside your adapter to see if a 5V power circuit is already built in.
What is the production date on your radio? Although the radios looked the same throughout the years, 2002 MINI’s didn’t have aux capability without using an aftermarket CD changer input adapter. 9/2002 and later radios should have aux capability. Later radios (around 2005??) added the capability to play burned MP3 CD’s in-dash.
Also, if you look for another radio, the same head unit was used for the standard and Harmon Kardon systems. The HK amp just unlocked other controls and setting when connected.

...Interesting about there could be a 12v>5v converter in the AUX plug. It would be convenient...How do I test?
