I have a 2010 mini convertible and my radio is the same as yours. I am confused about the volume knob. It is a part of the OEM CD drive with a gap between the CD drive and the knob. In your final pictures with the new DVD drive that goes with the new head unit I see the OEM volume knob there. Can you explain what you did there?
