I have a Parrot 3200 bluetooth kit which I took out of my last car. I want to know how to install this into the new Mini. I got the car last year (2007) but am just getting around to installing this now. It is a Mini One and does NOT have the MFSW.

I have been reading the posts and I think there is a wiring loom I need to order (no problem). I just can't figure out how to take it apart to get at the wires.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Mike @ Newministuff sells the required plug & play lead, and i'm sure he'll help you out with regards taking the dash apart

Ken, let us know how you get on with your 3200. My other half has had one installed in her MINI and has been very disppointed - was removed from her old Peugeot

I installed the kit on Saturday. It took a few hours as I was just being careful. A lot of the panels use poppers which are quite tight and require a bit of force. I didn't want to break anything but being a BMW the build quality is excellent.

I have always liked the Parrot 3200 and it works well in the Mini. I positioned it on the panel just above the start button which looks very tidy.

Thanks for all your help.
