Several months ago I asked the list for some suggestions on how to install a
radio in my Mini. Thanks to everyone who responded. What I ended up doing
was buying a used deck and cd changer, mounting them under the seat (!) and
making up a little bracket to hold the wired remote on the e-brake handle.
Works slick. Can't see the display on the deck face though, so I mounted a
little mirror hanging from under the dash facing the deck face. It's
backwards, but what the heck.
Also I installed a powered antenna that sticks to the inside of the rear
windscreen. I never had much faith in these things, but it seriously helps
with reception. Might be a tip for those of you wishing for a radio but don't
want a standard antenna.
