Hi mike,

Since I have Harmon Kardon, do you sell any adapters that I suposedly need to get this installed?

Also what DVD Navigation would you recommend and do you have any pictures fitted?

Thanks!

[mikeythemini]

Yes we sell the HK enabler - NewMINIStuff.com
You would also need a facia & aerial adaptor
We have a special on the clarion at the moment - priced inc all the adaptors you need - NewMINIStuff.com
A very nice system - full europe mapping on hard disc, optional speed cameras, lane info & overhead gantries, dvd video etc. TMC traffic is included
We also have the new model kenwoods

some screens

Sorry to steal the thread but im looking for something similar - do any of the units have bluetooth capability?

Would like something similar and thinking it would be nice to have intergrated bluetooth.

Also - have any of these units got removable faces etc - just thinking security wise.

Thanks.

The clarion has a removable face BUT the optional bluetooth is very poor - you would be better with a seperate system
The new kenwood optional bluetooth for their screen is made by parrot and is very good

Do these have freeview and does it work when the car is in motion?

[mikeythemini]

We have freeview for any screen controlled by a seperate remote Or kenwoods freeview for their screen whch is controlled from the screen
On the move - depends on how its installed
The kenwood is now on our site
NewMINIStuff.com
We have both systems on demo

Mikey,

Could you poss give me a price for the Kenwood NV-D52GA pack inc the bluetooth module, ipod lead and fitting.

Thanks.

[mikeythemini]

£1000 inc vat thats going off your posted spec (no mfsw) includes fitting, fitting kit bluetooth & video ipod lead. No TMC.

Do you have any cheaper more basic DVD Navigation units?

Cheers

[mikeythemini]

All the people we deal with no longer use DVD for nav (old technology)- its all hard disc or solid state. Then a DVD player in the stereo for movies
We have cheaper units but they are double din so a major job to fit in a Mini

Mike,
Is is possible to replace the stadard sat nav screen with one of these newer units with all the functionality on the new unit plus still showing the MINI "computer stuff" ?

Cheers

We can add a garmin navigation computer to show through the existing screen while keeping the other functions. You gain the latest full Europe Garmin nav (got it in my car as its the same unit as Kenwood use) optional TMC, full 7 digit postcode, massive point of interest database, easy upload of speed cameras via SD card & map updates the same way.

Then if you want you can change the stereo to get better stereo features
