MINI Cooper R56 Radio Upgrade by Car Navi Player FULL INSTALL 

Sure do! I get that a lot!

LMFAOOOOO

He is a good and kind Putin to upload this movie.

😂😂😂

Thankfully, seems to be the exact opposite personality.

🤭

Thanks! I will look into that!

I've just set mine up to sleep rather than shutdown, so now it boots instantaneously

@@coffeeguydave4746 I see, but wouldn’t that drain your car battery? I guess that’s a tricky one to do because you’ll risk having an empty car battery after X days right?

​@@DvT093 So it shouldn't drain your battery, I believe that the sleep mode is just using enough power to keep the data in RAM, it doesn't keep the whole device powered on. The drain should be minimal, but I only enabled it a couple of days ago and can't say for sure.

It is going well, have had no issues since the install. The backup camera I used works flawlessly. I do have the upgraded speakers in my MINI, but I ca't say I won't look at upgrading down the line. It will all depend on how long I keep the car since it is just my work bomber. Then again, I love my MINI!

​​​​​​@@GeekSmartI've had an R59 S, modded/tuned at 230whp/280lbft for 6 years and the last 78k miles. Not a single issue, 86k on chassis. Not even a CEL the whole time. I track it and commute in it. Thanks for the video, I've been eyeing these for a while but didn't want to guinea pig it. Did car audio in the late 90s so I found your use experiences with the system and it's integration the most useful, so glad you covered some of the nuances of it. Remember timing chain and vacuum pump preventative replacements around 100k, both can lead to catastrophic engine damage and both are trivial if you're a proficient mechanic and they're relatively cheap. If it's an N18 skip the walnut BS, but do replace the PCV bladder every 60k. Oil at 7k or less. Trans flush (use bottom fill method) every 75k. If you follow that basic sc schedule you'll have this thing for ages and ages 😊 One last note, Koni FSDs + stock springs and dump the run flats. Ride is much smoother and loses nothing for performance, it's only upsides for a commuter/dual use R series. 50:01

I can’t find that in the settings,do you have the exact same unit ?

Ill look into this.

I just sent a question about this to the seller.

Yes, all of the chimes appear to function normally. Depending on where you place the speaker is where it comes from and how loud it is.

Where was your upgrade purchased I’m from England so alot of these are mainly eBay

Same here. Did you figure out how to fix it?

Well it is hard to say, as I was shooting video the entire time. I would block out a few hours if you are good at figuring things out.

Yes. The key detail is the dvd player trim piece. You may need to replace it with a different style to accommodate the dvd player. It's an official BMW part.

@@LynxStarAuto do you know of a link where I could find the part you speak of?

All depends on what you want to work in your car. Steering wheel controls? Chimes?

@@GeekSmart basically I'm thinking of putting a touch screen unit in. Don't mind not havin stearing wheel controls for radio

@@GeekSmart would this screen work for a 2010 mini cooper ?

Not that I am aware of, probably just software. The only item that I don't like is the boot up time, but that is expected being that it fully turns off when the vehicle turns off. Would be neat if there was a way to have a backup battery to hibernate it for 12-24 hours.

@GeekSmart my new toyota rav4 has bootup time too.

But tell me.about sound quality...

I just bought a coinvertable, I totally understand why someone would install a backup camera

Because, why not?

@@justblairthompson the convertible rear window is maybe small, idk so i won’t judge but a hard top mini? It’s like a smart car 😂 i can touch the rear latch from the drivers seat 😂

@@GeekSmart no hard feelings tho! I just wouldn’t go through the process and spendings for such a small car 😅

noone cares what you would or wouldn't do though, alas@@charles-davidberube1174
