    Buyer beware. Just bought a new 2015 2 door hardtop with a sunroof. Very nice looking. However, I should have done more research. The base model leaves a lot to be desired. Radio was not satellite ready, radio sounds bad, no panic button on key pog, no alarm, and the radio doesn't even have a CD player. Any suggestions on buying a radio for my car? Panic button? I live in S Florida area.
    Thanks for your help...

    Welcome to MA!

    I think its all integrated. Have you asked the dealer if they can program the panic button feature?

    Research, Beer, and Aux cable w/ Ipod Nano with your favorite songs should help.

    Welcome to M/A! Dang...you youngsters like ALLLLLLLLL the creature comforts. I merely bought my MINIs so I could enjoy driving more...sound entertainment being strictly optional [and a distant optional, at that].

    The problem with MINI's (Good / Bad), is everything is interconnected with the computer... With a 2015, it may be a little early for the aftermarket to provide a work around alternate radio... At this point you probably should ask what the dealer can provide... When I bought my 2009, satellite radio was an optional plug in module... Maybe they have this for your 2015...

    I share your concerns about needing a "Panic Button" living down in Florida...

    Something about all the Angel Dust Meth addicts that run around loose down there, eating the faces off of innocent bystanders... Get them to switch... Once they've tried bacon, they will never go back to plain old everyday faces...
