Just a thought, If you don't fancy the trip all the way up to Mikes to try it, you're more than welcome to have a listen to my stereo first

I'm always floating around the South East.

The front speakers in this kit are the same as I used in your car

The rears in this kit are a lot bigger than we can fit to the cabrio so give more bass

Hi Mikey,

Just to let you know I will be coming around to see you to get this piece of kit fitted but it won't be until March (banned for speeding

), I would love to pay for the offer now but am going to have to save up a bit 1st.

I will be seeing you in March when I'm back on the road

Eh up Mickey, I really fancy this upgrade, as its been said here before....R56 SYSTEM IS naff
I recently bought the Parrot blutooth from you and will install it when Si (essentialmini) finishes my dash lights.
Question for ya........ If i plug it all in and leave the connector (or try to) for the radio accsesable from under steering column cover, will this make instalation any easier for you when i have it fitted? Or is it STILL a dash out job again? Only asking cos like you say, its a major job taking dash out and this will be third time mines been out.
What sort of sound quality is the difference and could i compare it to Harmon system in R53?
Thanks Mikey.
Regards, Andy

Where are you based Mikey?

mikeythemini · Oct 29th, 2007, 11:08 PM

Formby - just North of Liverpool - where the footy players live

GBMINI · Oct 30th, 2007, 03:32 AM

What about the other Footy players ... Newcastle Magpies

Jumbomini · Oct 30th, 2007, 03:26 PM

Mikey - some questions - does the upgrade work with jcw recaros? Is the sub a box or an active sub or is it removable? what's the total fitted cost to upgrade the hifi option and with the sub as well? and finally...pleeeze does it give me back my HK?

Yes it works with recarros.
The system above in my opinion is better than hk
You can add a sub - removeable extra £300 + vat
