Ah.. thought that was available already as an upgrade. Is it going to be standard now?

Nope, it hasn't even been phased into production yet and now they are saying maybe Dec. or later. Rumor has it they may just drop it.

They had it listed on their website. It suprises me they'd do that without actually having it available.

Thanks for the info.

BTW... the factory stereo is definately a weak point on the car.

Ah.. just stopped by the web page. I didn't select the HK when "building my mini" and did not see the "available 12/02" comment on it.

Thanks again for the info.

When do the 2003 models go into production? I am interested in getting the DVD nav system.
Thanks
