Here's a question for you ICE types

My sister has an old old mini, no stereo etc or anything, anyway, she decided to buy a BMW Mini One radio cassette from ebay, all very well, but I cant seem to find a multiplug for the back of it (so I can wire the speakers, power etc to it.......

If im right, all the adapters in Halfords would have the opposite gender connector to the one I need?

Basicly I just need the "car loom" connector for it so I can then wire it myself, (and of course then find the pin allocations!)

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

 

Is the aerial plug there or is there nothing at all?

I'd be inclined to wire it on from fresh, make yourself a decent earth, feed a permanent live through from the battery [with a fuse as near to the terminals as possible] and scotch clip a remote live feed from the ignition

 

Nothing at all on the mini!

I am planning to wire it fresh, but need a plug to plug my wiring into the actual radio unit with

(Before i just solder wires to the radio pins

 

Mate, you need the plug for the back of the mini headunit [edited cos it made no sense ]

should be one that go's to an ISO plug?

 

Correct, thats exactly what I need, the question is, where do i find one

 

halfords

 

Normally at the back of the head unit

Try BMW, [for a laugh at their stupid pricing on parts for cars under 5 years old ]

Then give German, Swedish and French a ring, they'll do them I'm sure

Or ring the guys at Top Banana in Fleet, Hampshire if you're not too far from me? They'll sort you out 01252 819500, ask for Paul or Matt

 

sextons in cardiff will have what you need

just dont say gareth sent you as they will charge you double

 

Go into Halfords and ask for the car lead for the mobile phone hands free kits they sell, that will plug straight into the back of the unit then wire it onto whatever connector you want.

Two different leads available for the mini though, Round pin or flat pin. You can tell by looking at the back of the unit. Oh and the aerial may be different, Some off them use a strange square plug. Adaptors available from autoleads.

Part numbers for the phone leads are BRL (round pin)
BRL2 (flat pin)
Both are Ł17

Hope this helps

 

Just had a thought the aerial adaptor wont work, im gettin confused. If the unit has the sqare pin you will need to either see if BMW do an adaptor or bodge something yourself!

Alternativly stick the unit back on e-bay

 

Cheers lads!

Its a round pin one, and has a seperate aerial connector on the back of the unit
