Mini seem to have completely gimped the setup with the R56, making it a lot harder to do pretty much anything. It's probably deliberate to encourage you to buy their optional extras. However it just makes people more annoyed - expecially when the Hifi upgrade isn't much to shout about. Changing the stereo I hear is nigh impossible. And don't ask my about putting some new speakers in!

nigh impossible.. is that not impossible?

I took my R56 Cooper down to Turners Audio and they said they'd fit a new head unit in in the box above the glove compartment and do everything from there. They did spec. me a nice setup with a 12" Pioneer sub, so it's possible that way.

How would you control the separate head unit - using the MINI controls on the centre stack, MFSW or would it just have it's own controls.

What was the price range they quoted?

Lonz · Apr 12th, 2008, 05:46 PM

The standard controls can be used on the central unit. For extra control, the additional head unit would be used. I also get a remote control with the new head unit, otherwise it would certainly be a pain to change tracks just on its own. I don't have the MFSW so I don't know how that would work.

The whole setup including fitting was £700. They gave me a demo of what it would sound in a similar setup and it sounded very impressive. They do have a good reputation aswell, winning quite a lot of lucrative audio competitions etc.

Are you getting it done then?

Lonz · Apr 13th, 2008, 12:23 AM

I'm undecided at the moment. They have as good a reputation as you do, and they're local, saving me time and money.
