I hate to dig up old posts, but this one really saved me a lot of trouble. To add to the info above I purchased the Rosta kit for my 2015 LS w/CVT. The dealer wouldn't install it so I did it myself. Took about an hour tops including soldering in the three connections that you'll need to splice under the dash. The rest is a total plug-n-play operation.

My car had 2 miles on the ODO when I drove it off the lot and I'm already at 750 miles just 12 days later. By this time next year I'll probably be around the 25 to 30k range. It took me less than 4 years to rack up 122k on the Mini before it had to go in for a rebuild. Here'
