Just fitted one of these to my S, it is so easy & would take a fisrt timer 30 mins

It is plug & play, plays through the factory stereo & is controlled by the factory steering wheel phone buttons.
This was done on a 06 Mini - 05 & 06 Minis are easier to remove the stereo than 01-04
Pull the drivers under dash panel down

Remove the 4 T40 torx screws (2 in each pillar)

mikeythemini · Oct 5th, 2006, 08:58 PM

The piilars will now drop & can be pushed outwards to reveal the 4 radio screws.

Mikey, did you mean to post this in the 2nd gen forum?

mikeythemini · Oct 5th, 2006, 09:12 PM

Oh bugger no

Any chance you could move it - pretty please

psychoticgas · Oct 9th, 2006, 12:35 PM

Mikey,

Other than the steering wheel side being reversed, is there anything different to expect on the US version?

Thanks

smoyer · Dec 7th, 2006, 10:49 PM

Mikey, Where do you get this kit?

Thanks

DaFlake · Dec 8th, 2006, 07:15 AM

Looks pretty slick Mikey. That might be what I am looking for. What is sound like during normal driving conditions? Can the others hear you well?

@mickeythemini
@ all

sorry for "stupid" question.

I tryied to remove the lower dash panel on my 06 MC to remove the radio but it doesn't move.

Is there any screw or something else?

Thanks

Not sure yet but I bet you could run it to the factory location.

I am waiting for Mikey to send me the cost so I can buy one with some additional bits after that, I plan to write a review.
