Thanks to Chris of LOA for sending this to me via e-mail...

Should've posted this one first as it is the top of the brochure...

Thanks !, did we pick up a little more torque? One thing I'd lobby for is a tan soft top, would go great with a yellow car. Guess while I'm at it black or gunmetal grey wheels.

hmm... general indeed, but a definite appetite whetter.

Here's the radio, Non-MP3.

Hmmm... Stereo supports an AUX input. Maybe a jack can be wired in that will accept input from a portable MP3 player like an iPod? I know the stereo in the Mini Coopers can do this. It's even a dealer-installed option.

Check this out Blaupunkt MP3 Add-on

It is designed to work like a CD changer. Uses a removable 1GB IBM microdisk hard drive. You load the HDD via a USB cradle connected to your PC. Since the HDD is removable, you can have several. Pretty cool.

Nice find. I like it. Compact and light! Looks like I need to start converting my CDs to MP3 files....

Aux input is great, right now I use a transpod for my iPod. I know a bunch of S4 guys on audiworld have rigged an aux input the hard way but I'm now savy enough to do that. Now we need to figure out a cool cradle to mount it and power it without having loose wires around.

So it appears that the 8-spoke wheels are the official wheels. Did we already know that? I'm pleased.

It also appears that overly large hump to cover the brake booster as opposed to the pimple thing is "official." I prefer the pimple.

 

[FederalElise]

wait, 138 lb-ft of torque? That's a pleasent surprise

 

[RacingDynamcs]

thats a lot of tq for a 1.8L engine that spec...

 

[FederalElise]

I meant, I was expecting 133, a 5 lb-ft bump is welcomed for a sub 2000 lb car

hahahahaha nice sig.



That would be very nice, though. I have an RF modulator in the Jeep now, and while it's okay, a direct AUX input would be SO much nicer for the MP3 player.

Yes, the Heidelberg CD52 has two inputs on the back.

This is the cable you need to attach an MP3 player.

If you want to also use the 10-disc changer you would need this cable.

I think an MP3 player Wieghs a lot less!

I still have cassettes and must be the only person left that doesnt own a cd player.

I'm clueless as to what IPOD and MP#3 are. Are they small sized discs that hold lots more music? I have only seen computers that have regular sized discs, are these smaller discs that you put into your computer and save music files to? Or do you need to attach a bunch of stuff to your computer? I need to start talking to the tech guys at work or the local teenagers.

Its a 5 minute ride to work, so I never even use the radio.

I checked Crutchfield too see more about the radio. Looks like the COM hads infiltrated them!
