Head Unit Help

Hi there people, this may seem like a silly question, i bought a original MINI CD player but it jumps when i play CD's so im thinking of buying an aftermarket Kenwood head unit, will it fit in place easily and/or do i need a cage or any other fitments? Will it fit the genuine connectors?

Cheers for any help in advance

You will need adaptors - a wiring adaptor, an antenna adaptor and a fascia adaptor.
MikeyTheMini can supply them all

Also, if you have the MFSW (steering wheel audio controls) they won't work without another adaptor.

Thanks Ian
You will need a radio fitting kit - it contains the 3 items needed

Yes ... I found that on your site afterward!

I will probably need one soon as well, along with a Kenwood HU if you can supply one (with wired remote!)

wave has a 1 piece screen & no dolby
boost has a 2 piece screen and dolby
