Sorry, papa-j, Comfort Access relies on a set of transceiver antennas in various parts of the car. They'd have to do some serious major surgery to put them into a car that's already built, in addition to the added hardware (e.g., different door handles). The cost would be outrageous, even if you could convince someone to do the job. :cryin:

I'm no help to your question but I gotta say I've been quite happy with my comfort access. Makes life so much easier lol.

Everything can be added for the right amount of money, after all Stealerships are in business to take your money.

Thanks for the feedback folks....I honestly didn't think I cared one way or the other when we bought it, but lately I drive it more often and noticed the difference.
It is not worth expending a bunch of cash at this point, but this feature will be looked for on the next MINI. -
But, as you observed, it's just something to put on the list for the next Mini! -
This is one of those features that is very difficult to give up once you get used to having it. If I get into a car that is still started by inserting a key into the ignition and turning, it honestly takes me a second to remember what must be done. It's kind of sad, but I do love the convenience of never taking my keys out of my pocket to open doors and start the car.
