Hi! I have Mini Cooper R5X 2005. I’m looking for a car kit to listen to music from iOS devices and MP3 players and also USB flash drive. Do you have any suggestions? I’ve heard some good opinions about car adapter AUX Link. It’s compatible with Apple devices, USB flash drive, SD memory cards and devices with 3.5 mm audio mini jack. Does anyone have it and can share his experience? Do you have better recommendations? Thanks!

I can share my personal experience. When I decided to buy AUX Link car adapter, I was trying to find the best deal and it's really much cheaper to buy it at the official website AUX Car Kits. The delivery took just four days. At first I tried to install it myself, but had troubles taking out the OEM car audio. I didn't have necessary tools, so in the end I had it installed in the nearest auto workshop. It took around 15 minutes. So far totally satisfied with the purchase.

Pluses:

- supports iOS gadgets, USB, SD, SDHC, MMC memory cards, but there is also a plug for other mobile gadgets (MP3 players, Windows-based and Android-based smartphones, tablets, laptops, netbooks, PSP etc.).
- crystal clear sound
- you can use it as a charger
- with additional Bluetooth module works perfectly as a car hands-free kit
- music control with steering wheel buttons and buttons on the car head unit (really convenient)
- read all music formats
- delivery is free and fast
- takes very little space and doesn't spoil the interior
- now I can listen to all my favourite compositions without carrying piles of CDs.

Disadvantages:

- relatively expensive as I also bought additional Bluetooth dongle to use the adapter as a Bluetooth AUX car adapter
- couldn't easily take out the car stereo so I had to go to auto workshop

But all in all, I guess it's a good product. So in my opinion it's worth buying.
