Default can you retro fit radio controls?

Just a quick question:

Is it possible to retro fit radio controls on a 2005 mini cooper s?

Only asking as a certain person has been looking at a mini but she still wants this feature.

Thanks!

He means can you retro-fit MFSW.

Yes, you can, but it's expensive and complex to do. I think there's a thread on MINI2 about it with the part numbers.

sorry sef I meant radio controls on the steering wheel.

Thanks for the info, at £1100 she will have to live without!

Modnmini can do it for you - I looked into doing it a while back. You get control for the radio and also get cruise control! My quote from John was about £600 - the majority of the cost is making cruise work - the buttons etc for the wheel itself are only about £125 ish...
