Like the video on YouTube:

YouTube - R56 JCW LED shifter

Looks much better than the previous shift light install on the 1st gen MINIs.

Thank you very much...

I thought about having this fitted but I don't think I'd be able to see it over the steering wheel mount because of my seat/steering wheel position. Either that or I wouldn't be able to see the display on the bottom of the rev counter pod - looks like the indicator gets in the way a bit on the photo? I may be wrong though, anyone have any problems seeing the indicator or the bottom of the rev counter display?

matrog · Jul 2nd, 2007, 12:13 PM

Looks cool! I want one

Any idea how much these cost in the UK?

wimsaab · Jul 2nd, 2007, 12:42 PM

I think we can see the bottom of the rev counter pod ,westerly...because our head is much over the steering wheel...

It's about 155$ in us,matrog...

FergusM · Jul 2nd, 2007, 01:28 PM

£145 fitted in the uk...

I think what he means is the steering wheel horn section covers the bottom like of the digital part of the rev counter. so will we be able to see the thing even flash.
And before you say, no my seating position isnt wrong. Its as low as you can go with a bend in the elbows with both arms at 9 and 3 o clock positions.

Im actually off to mini after me food, i think im going to treat myself to some JCW goodies, this is on the list

Hi
Ive been looking into this........

Fitting is simple...

Disconnect neg battery terminal
Remove two bits of trim
Disconnect rev counter
Fit new top column trim
Fix control module into place
Attach 3 wires
Connect shift light to module
Test
Refit rev counter and lower trim

Job done

No coding required

Ive managed to get a good deal at £120 for the kit.....
Ill be fitting it myself...ill post fitting pictures if anyone is interested.

Thank you very much, gtm-ken

I think your fitting picture would help other people to make a decision....

Benny No.1 · Jul 5th, 2007, 07:52 AM

gtm-ken that would be helpful, a nice step by step guide. Might give it a go myself if it seems straight forward.

gtm-ken · Jul 5th, 2007, 12:35 PM

Ive now got the BMW-Mini fitting instructions from our local dealer.....

It is THAT simple.......

Ken

FergusM · Jul 5th, 2007, 12:55 PM

Must be simple if the dealer up here wanted only £25 over the cost of kit to have it fitted.

Benny No.1 · Jul 5th, 2007, 03:26 PM

gtm-ken can you scan them and post them up? Would be interesting to have a read.

frd · Jul 5th, 2007, 07:48 PM

Are these the shame shift lights that are suposed to come standard in the newer mini's with start&stop system?

Arnbut · Jul 16th, 2007, 11:46 PM

What do you find appealing about it?
It looks cheap to me; like an arcade game piece....
What am I missing about its function?

movit · Jul 22nd, 2007, 06:14 AM

Does anyone knows if you can set the indicator yourself for the rpm's or does the dealer has to do this on your request when installing.

I think that the whole point is that it tells you when to shift for optimal use.
I would think that it's measuring wheel speed, braking, throttle position, etc. and trying to figure out what you're doing...
Why else would you want/need it?
