What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

The thing with the OEM Aux kit is you will need to install a ground to it...it's mentioned online in several places because when you are charging your device while playing through AUX....the deck will kick it out of aux at random times because I'm assuming power is escaping into the deck so it cancels the aux connection for protection. So if you want to play anything reliably with the OEM Aux kit, just don't charge while playing.

My morning classes were canceled today, so I spent some time detailing the interior of the ///M. I vacuumed every square inch of carpet, and then spot shampoo'ed any spots that didn't come clean. I also shampoo'ed the entire trunk, walls and all. For how clean my car is at any given time my trunk always looks like a bomb went off. lol

Loaded up with detailing supplies:


I also conditioned and cleaned the front seats, door cards, and shift/ebrake boots with some Zymol.


My trunk is finally clean again...


I think it came out pretty damn good...






I need to start using a better camera, my iPhone 5 isn't cutting it.

^^ Hmm interesting... My AUX has been installed for years without that issue but good to know if it ever pops up

Great looking work on the detail! As for the aux input, yeah, I've never heard that, and I'll keep an eye out for it, but I'm not worried about it... Honestly, if it allowed me to stream/listen to Pandora on the drive to the reunion, I'd be happy. I wouldn't be too upset if it didn't work after that weekend. LOL...

Strange. I have never had it do that to me. I had the dealer install mine though so maybe they installed a ground too.

Maybe they improved the OEM design as I bought mine from the dealership when I first got my car. It was a simple plug into the back of the OEM deck and then be creative on where to put the plug. I know on eBay there was some simple inline plug that would make everything work fine...but I can't remember what it was called.

Alignment and tire balance... I am impressed with the increase in stability and handling with the new suspension finally tuned in (so to speak)
