15:45 - You need to select 'AUX' on the OEM system for the sound to work from the new MMI box!

@Mxiden Год назад

Installed the same one 4 months ago on my F56 Cooper S and having Android Auto was definitely the last thing it needed to be perfect. Great video man keep it up!

@shaunriordan6115 Год назад

Hey, is your android auto wireless or do you need to plug it in?

@Quinnikon 7 месяцев назад

I love the way you didn't cut out or speed things up .... even when you were looking at what to unplug from the back of screen, too many people edit these vids and miss out that certain bit that leads to me breaking a clip or not connecting something ....I don't need any more help with ballsing things up I can do that alone 🤣 Cheers mate but it's well beyond my head but enjoyed it .

@Stanislav.Chernenko 8 месяцев назад

I have the same issue with sound, I don't understand how you solve it. Can give more details?

@stevefinnegan1772 11 месяцев назад

Top geezer, bought the same unit after watching your super video installation. Very successful project. Only issue I have is r/h airvent has exploded, vanes all over the place, gonna strip it down and see if I can reassemble it. Keep up the good work.😊

@MyMasamo Год назад

Perfect video, I just bought my from chine, working perfectly, the video was very well explained, thanks so much. In the first beginning, I got a black screen, one important information was not in the video, turning 3 keys on in the back of the device. Just perfect, thanks so much

@v0a69 Месяц назад

This is a great video. I've just bought a Mini Cooper and it has everything except this. But, not for long. Let's get installing 😀

@pgomezra Год назад

Great video, thanks! It's a good option for NBT, but sound quality is poor, i guess that internal DAC is not good enough. It's not an option for EVO, as it doesn't have AUX input and they want you to take out the line audio from the dashboard and connect it to the front USB input. Not a good deal. I'm in contact with Road Top to check if it could be directly connected to the available USB input of the EVO headunit using a rosenberger hsd type C connector.

@morganlingsweiler9813 6 месяцев назад

Any luck? I'm hoping to not lower sound quality on a 2020 F60 Countryman with I think the EVO system

@pgomezra 6 месяцев назад

Sound quality still not good enough for music. It seems to be a firmware issue, as the navigation sounds good but music sound extremely low. The vendor said they were working on enabling bluetooth transport for the music, which could be the solution. I've no update on that. With EVO you can find out you don't have AUX input and therefore you cannot hear the headunit. If so, you can enable a fake AUX with Bimmercode and an OBD2 interface.@@morganlingsweiler9813

But you don't have touch display, so it is redundant to pay so much just to mirror CarPlay on your MINI screen. Just get a iPhone mount and be done with it.

@paulrawlings2247 5 месяцев назад

Yes, I contacted Roadtop and they confirmed I can fit a unit to my 2017 F60. You just need to confirm if you have an NBT or EVO system before purchasing.

@steviewonder275 5 месяцев назад

thank you for this great video. i have 2020 mini cooper f56 base model with no carplay. my head unit screen looks just like yours. i want to do this upgrade but i have a question. when you took the head unit out, it seems that the screen can be unmounted from the unit case by unbolting the screws. do you think it is possible to replace just the screen (and the side plastic "filler?" on both sides with a bigger screen and reuse the same old head unit? again, thank you for the video and your help.

@Sunshinesmuse 10 месяцев назад

Hi there.. can I ask an unrelated Mini question please? I’ve recently bought a 2017 Cooper petrol manual convertible. Today had a weird issue.. parked up, then when wanted to pull away although the gear stick was seemingly engaging gears, the display on the dashboard that shows which gear is selected was showing N>. The engine would start when in neutral but the display wouldn’t change when any gear was selected. I switched off the stop/start function and it appeared to clear the issue.. any ideas ?? Many thanks

On older minis, USB is just for the charging and interface, needs a special cable for the iPod that separates out to have a USB and has a jack lead to go into the aux on the car.

Followed vid for installation on my F56 2015 Cooper S and was doing well until I discovered that the big metal brain behind the screen was inverted, It was installed upside down so that the wire loom to be disonnected from it was situated below the climate controls and the box could not be lifted out in order to connect the kit. Did not want to risk damaging my Mini so I put everthing back the way I found it and gave up trying to install the kit.

I'm assuming the Bluetooth is connected to the car play unit and not the I drive system? I'm having the same issue at the moment and can't get it to work. Car is set to aux as I have the nbt system. But when I press play on Spotify it just starts playing out of my phone speaker and not the car 😅
