England Can I retro fit tv/sat nav screen

I have a chance to buy sat nav/tv screen from an 04 mini. It comes without wires. Does anyone have any idea how much or whether it would be possible to retro fit it to my 05 mini con?

dont do it...its not going to happen.....

even if you do manage to locate all the parts needed for the install, there is no guarantee it will work, and your dealer wont want to help you install it either....then thes the warranty implications too!!

trust me, buy a road angel navigator/tom tom instead.

I concur. Wasn't there someone here who actually managed to fit the whole lot, but never got the navigation screen to display anything more than the MINI logo?

If you ever think you might want factory nav, spec it on a new car. Far, far too much expense and work involved in trying to fit it afterwards.

That's interested us too - we had thought about trying to do that, but fancied the tom-tom myself!

Definately follow that route now. Cheers

the tom tom has bluetooth aswell, so you can use it as a hands free car kit!!
