Doesn't work with E83 2005 X3 with CD player

Will not work on E83 X3 2005. Factory fitted radio/CD player. Connected the three required pins but I suspect the resistor was wrong to register as an AUX input.

Pros
  • . Please make sure this only works with head unit with "MODE" button. Please make sure this 12 pin connector is suitable for your vehicle before bidding. 2. It is not compatible with older devices without MODE button or cassette or navigation players.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging.

06 Mini Cooper R50 Base Coupe,

Unfortunately didn't work on my 06 Mini Coupé R50. The device connects and the AUX signal shows up, but I couldn't get the audio to respond. I have a CD player but no exchanger. It was a waste of time for me, now I've ordered the original MINI Cooper additional cable, let's see what happens 😞

Pros
  • 2003-2008 (E85/E86): Z4 (2.0, 2.5, 3.0 models, coupe and convertible) 2004-2010 (E83): X3 (2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and xDrive models) 2000 - MINI COOPER 2006: COOPER (R50), COOPER S (R53) and JC WORKS (Coupe and Cabrio) Radio Boost CD 53 / Business CD Only vehicles with SA 662/609
Cons
  • Not bad

Works perfectly! Find out about your car and install it yourself!

I had problems with the installation itself, I think it was because my Mini Cooper S 06 came with a Harmon Cardon sound system. So the wiring on the back of my radio was quite "tighter" than some YouTube tutorials I found. But after enough time and effort, I pulled the radio out just long enough to insert the clipped adapter. I routed the cable through the glove box (there was a flushed rubber hole that the previous owner used on his vintage iPhone, didn't want to try and upgrade it) and this…

Pros
  • 3.5mm jack to connect to your IP or other MP3 player to connect to your stereo system. Because it connects directly to the Aux port on the back of the main unit, there is no degradation in sound quality. You must remove your stereo to install this kit in your vehicle.
Cons
  • Some small things
