I CAN HAS NAVIGASHUN?
OK... after a bit of gentle ribbing, I'll concur w/ the opinion above... adding the factory nav is going to be well over $2000, if you can even find all of the parts you need. If it requires a new wiring harness, the labor alone will be outrageous.
If it is a 'must have', I'd recommend selling your MINI and finding a new one w/ Nav factory installed.
IMHO, the factory Nav is a waste of $ and I dislike what it does to the speedo. I am much happier with a quality aftermarket Nav (I prefer Garmin) and a quality mount (I love my R53 dash mount from www.kudausa.com) either on the dash or near the top of the steering wheel (www.Cravenspeed.com and others).
I added a 12v power socket on my dash (like a laptop to power cord connector) so that I don't have dangling cords. It makes it easy to remove the Garmin and have nothing but a little socket in the dash left over.
