Here's a basic outline of how to install it:

IMPORTANT** This does not work with any 02 MINI's that have the factory radio installed, sorry! ALSO, does NOT work on any year Gen 1 MINI with the stock Cassette deck OR the 6 CD changer installed (if you unplug the CD changer it will work though)!!It WILL work on the Harman Kardon stereo!!!If you've got an MP3 player (who doesn't these days?) and want to pump the tunes through your MINI stereo system then this is what you need. Simple, clean installation using all factory MINI parts guarantees a perfect fit. Harness plugs directly into the back of the MINI radio while a 'dongle' can mounted just about anywhere within about 40 inches. The simple input jack is much like a standard headphone jack, so just run the correct cord (available from any Radio Shack, etc.) out of the MP3 player, Ipod or any other portable systems headphone jack and into the MINI Auxiliary port and you're set. Compatible with most MINI factory installed radio.IMPORTANT** This does not work with any 02 MINI's that have the factory radio installed, sorry!1) Pull Knee Panel (under the steering wheel) down (or remove the euro parcel tray if you have that installed). It pops right out and hinges at bottom.2) Reach up behind head unit and feel for hole in back of the stereo. Plug the AUX connector in.3) Fish the wire back behind unit over top of unit towards the glovebox or any other location where it can fit. A good location to mount it is in the lower cubby tray area right under the toggle switch...there is a removable panel that you can mount the input plug in with minimal hassle.4) Drill holes for AUX input 'dongle' connector as shown in the instructions. The faceplate will cover the holes.5) Fish under glovebox or other location and tighten.6) Screw in small screws.
