hi,

does anyone know where i can get hold off wiring diagram for the folding mirrors in a mini cooper 2005.
ive changed the mirrors and the loom that goes in the doors, i just need to workout how the wiring goes to the control box next to the handbrake, do i just have to run a live wire with a switch or is there a control box somewhere in the car.

any help would be appreciated

thanks.

Copy of mirror circuit diagram from MINI EWS as requested :-

unzip and then view with SVG viewer from Adobe.

Hope this helps........

do you also have the wiring diagram for the oem sat nav in the mini, ive done a retrofit but the screen doesnt turn on, just want to make sure ive wired them properly before i hand the car into the dealers (view my other thread on oem sat nav)

thanks.

Navigtion info from MINI EWA :-

R50/R53 Navigation system with on-board monitor


Function
The receiver of the GPS satellite navigation system supplies the navigation computer with the current position of the vehicles in degrees latitude and longitude.

A CD with map data is loaded in the CD drive of the navigation computer. The navigation computer combines the vehicle position calculated by the GPS with this map data.

The current position is shown on the on-board monitor under ”Location display”.

The driver can enter a destination. The navigation computer calculates a route from the current location to this destination based on selectable criteria (without motorway, shortest distance, etc.). The calculated route is shown in the route display.

With the aid of arrow indicators and distance data on the on-board monitor and a voice output function, the navigation computer indicates how and where to get into the correct lane or turn off while the vehicle is moving.

The navigation computer calculates the distance covered from the signals from a wheel speed sensor.

The ”gyro” informs the navigation computer of the rotary movements of the vehicle (e.g. when turning off etc.). The gyro is installed in the casing of the navigation computer.

An alternative route is recalculated automatically if the driver does not follow the route instructions.

Components
Navigation computer incl. CD drive and gyro
A CD drive is integrated in the navigation computer. The map CD is loaded in this drive.

The navigation computer also features a fan. If the cooling capacity of the fan is not sufficient, the navigation computer is switched off due to overheating and this status is indicated on the on-board monitor.

The gyro is an inertia sensor which records the forces which occur during a change in direction and transfers this data to the navigation computer in the form of a voltage change. This gyro is fitted in the casing of the navigation computer.

GPS
The G lobal P ositioning S ystem is a system which was originally developed for military use, in which approx. 20 satellites in earth orbit send position-related signals. These signals are evaluated by a computer specially developed for this purpose and converted into a position. The accuracy of the system varies; however, it is at least within 100 m.

GPS reception is only possible when unobstructed view of the sky is ensured.

GPS, in conjunction with the MINI navigation system, consists of an aerial and a receiver which evaluates the satellite data received via the aerial and transfers the calculated vehicle position to the navigation computer. The GPS receiver is integrated in the navigation computer.

Engine speed transmitter
The navigation computer evaluates the signals from the wheel speed sensor (rear right wheel) and thus determines the distance covered.

Road-map CD
The data the navigation computer requires for route planning is stored on the map CD. It is advisable to use the latest updated version in order to take account of any changes in the road system.

AF lines
The acoustic signals are transferred via 2 AF lines directly to the radio.

RGB lines
The image signals are transferred via RGB lines to the LC monitor. The user interface, i.e. the menus on the on-board monitor, is set up by the navigation computer.

The navigation system in the workshop
Test drive
Important

After the navigation computer has been replaced, a test drive lasting approx. 15 minutes is necessary, during which GPS reception must be ensured.

Loading the operating software
If a new version of the operating software is offered by BMW, it should be loaded as follows (refer also to instructions on the CD):

Switch on terminal R and wait until the navigation system is ready for operation. Ensure there is a stable voltage supply.

Remove road map CD from navigation computer.

Insert software CD in navigation computer.

A symbol appears on the on-board monitor after several seconds; the symbol is ”filled in” with colours in clockwise direction. Once the loading procedure is complete, the ”Software has been loaded successfully” message appears.

Once the loading procedure is completed, first remove the software CD and then confirm the end of the loading procedure by pressing the rotary push button on the on-board monitor.

Important

Do not change the terminal setting during the loading procedure! Ensure adequate voltage in the vehicle electrical system.

Coding of navigation computer
The operating software must be loaded first prior to encoding the navigation computer.
