I know some members have Mini's, so I thought I would pose the question.
I am looking to buy a new Mini Countryman, but have heard that the Harmon Kardon sound system has not been available recently because of the chip shortage. I spoke to a BMW/Mini salesman today and he told me that it was now available to order.
However, it is not available to order on the UK configurator. Should I believe the salesman, who is obviously trying to sell me a car? Is there any other way of checking availability of this option?
Thanks.

Try asking a different dealer.

I don’t know the answer, but I picked up my wife’s new Mini Cooper S Sport 5-door just before Christmas which has the standard sounds system and to my ears it sounds great.

Maybe call other dealers and ask the question see if you get the same answer. Cotswold BMW/Mini we’re fantastic and had great communication so maybe give them a shout?

Here in Spain, Harmon Kardon was removed from the configurator for the Mini in October. Then in November my dealer said they could add the option through their systems, even though it was still not showing in the configurator. I placed the order for a Mini Electric, and the car was delivered before Xmas. It seems when the car companies want to boost their electric reg numbers, they can move heaven and earth to overcome component shortages! Hope it helps, and definitely ask the dealer directly.
