cool...I have the stock non Harmon Kardon HU and have the additional CD changer and aux input too, and just checked it out...as I go through the 'mode' button to access the radio, CD, CD changer, and aux input, they each can have the treble/bass set individually and it remembers the setting,... but also, the FM and the AM can also each have their own settings retained...pretty cool

That cup holder is retarded! The moment I saw it I told them to take it out. It gets in the way of everything! Too funny. I got the Boot-liner instead. Of course now I can't get a regular-sized cup of soda to fit in any of the existing cup holders! I have to order the kid's size.

One thing I don't know...and hoping maybe some here does. Is there a mod (a way) to make these widows a "one-touch" up? Is there a replacement switch out there that can do this - or a mod to the existing switch that can be done? I can't believe they don't come this way in the first place ...is it a child safety thing or something?

there are two circuit cards that i know of that will auto up the windows from the toggle switch bank. one is made by Ian (GBMINI) and the other is from OutMotoring.com. Do a search in the forums for auto up windows and you should find links to where you can purchase one. i bought and installed the card made by Ian and it works great. highly recommended!

Ian's "Original Auto-up circuit"...
"My "MINI circuit" solves the annoyance of having to hold the window toggle switch up to close windows in a MINI - especially troublesome with a manual transmission when pulling away from a toll booth in wet weather!"
http://www.gbmini.net/MINIcircuit/index.shtml
Outmotoring's "MINI Cooper Auto Window" "If you've ever tried to pull out of a drive through with full hands you'll appreciate this product. Auto-up Window control allows you to flick your drivers window toggle switch upwards (twice) and roll your window up. Leaving you to concentrate on motoring!"
(http://www.outmotoring.com/mcaw_mini..._auto_up_.html)
As you can see- someone's getting ripped off. I'm not in a positon to speculate. FWIW- I don't have either of these installed. Tons of NAM Folks do. I wouldn't know if either conflicts with the Outmotoring (key-based) add-on.

Inspired by this amazingly informative and entertaining thread, I decided to try 2 of the checks that mean something to me.
1. My windows and sunroof will not open simultaneously no matter what I push, depress or hold - the unlock button on the key or the center panel, in or out of the car, running or not.
2. The unlocking the car with the key to the chin thing does work. I LOLed when I did it. I also discovered that my 2 keys work at different distances without using my chin. One key works at over twice the distance of the other one.
