R60/R61 How to install an Android Apple Carplay Headunit from Icebox Auto Liverpool Step by Step 

Did you have any issues with getting steering wheel buttons working with the head unit?

No problem thanks for watching

Mine worked fine it just reversed the forwards and backwards buttons

So glad it could help, good luck

Ha thanks for watching, glad it went well

Thanks for watching, as long as you watch both my videos and understand both positives and negatives as there are some then great stuff

I would contact iceauto to see what options you have

Sorry I don’t use alibaba

Ha most definitely, thanks for watching

It’s been a while, but yes it was a white cable I mentioned that triggers it to light when headlights are on

Hi thanks for watching. Steering controls work, as per the video, the skip track buttons are reversed but work.

Hi it’s subtly different but they do a version for the r59 as it’s the same as the r56

Possibly but it was not obvious or straight forward from what I could see in the menu system and there were no instructions for it

You can disable the assistant if I remember correctly

@@tweedbean found the option to change the boot logo in the factory settings, only 4 images are available to choose, some "warning" messages, will try uploading a pic though a pen drive hope it works.

Rear sensors continued to work on mine from memory

Yeah no issue at all

Sorry not sure on that, I would speak to the supplier

Literally use a really thin screw driver is about the only extra thing I can say

Is it possible it's a different cap, I have a 2013 paceman

Sorry I can’t remember any issues like that with mine.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes as explained in the video I shopped around to see what was on offer. Yep super happy with it. As for wiring/fitting fully covered in the video

Not sure

Yeah I wouldn’t expect Mini to fit any aftermarket parts. Honestly I cover every step in the video, just make sure you test it all before you put the dash back together so you don’t have to remove it all again if you forget to connect something etc

@@tweedbean For me it is going to be a 1 or 2 day all day project. Since like your paceman the entire dash seems to needs to be removed. Going to take the time while it is apart to wrap/paint a few of the dash pieces to color match the outside of the car. So I will for sure be taking my time and double checking everything. Also doing a few things that wasn't covered in the video. Going to run the rear cam wires, and amp wires for when I get around to doing the rear seat delete. That the wires are already done and ready to be hooked up. Should ask thou. In the video you had the console by the shifter all apart. My USB port there doesn't work. Is it an easy swap out to replace it using 1 of the 2 new usb cables that comes with the head unit?

I used the Andream unit as my R60 had the factory Screen already, its no joke how much has to be removed to get to the radio. Lots of swearing happened....

@@MrShuntking I want to do the same, did you manage to undo the trim around it? My headunit is not delivered yet.

@@caddy67 I went to a shop and had it done. I have issues with my hands and fingers. After I think screw number 5 and struggling to get those out. Just said f it and paid to have them do it. Or what for normal people would take 2-3 hours was going to take me all day and night.

It’s a flaw I hadn’t spotted and I don’t think the manufacturers did

Yes and the screen warns you when doors are open etc

@@tweedbean does it create the original 'mini' noises or is it replaced with a different tone

@@THEDARKEMPIRE56 that is not radio controlled

To be honest I haven’t tested it as I dont like the location of the stock usb port however if it doesn’t, there will be an off the shelf cable you can use to convert it I would imagine

@@tweedbean Thx, mate!

mine did not

It probably will to some degree, but thats what I want to find out for myself and will give an honest opinion, although I have my F56 to go fast around bends so not overly bothered if it although I know you can get stiff anti roll bars etc to work with it

@@tweedbean I look forward to seeing the video once you’ve done it. I’ve been thinking about the lift kit but don’t want to compromise on the way my Paceman drives. Has the larger tyres made any difference to the handling apart from a smoother ride than the annoying harsh run flat tyres that came with the car?

Have a look at icebox auto link in the description

I never really had an issue, you could always buy some anti glare film and see if that works

How do you set up the clock on a small dash where it is RMP Tacho? I disconnected the battery and i couldn't set up the clock without the old unit. In the small screen Menu also doesn't't exist clock set up.

@@big_z.v6720 i have not found a way to do that, as the interface is gone now

I don’t own it anymore but I seem to remember it did

It’s wireless car play so automatically connects, or you can do wired CarPlay so it kicks in when you connect the cable

@@tweedbean It that Carplay real apple Carplay or some Android stuff that looks like Apple car play?

Real

@@tweedbean Thanks

Thanks great tip, unfortunately I don’t own the car anymore but it sounds like a possibility someone could try

You must have forgotten to connect one of the cables as one controls the lighting

Very odd, didn’t see that with mine.

I dont remember actually testing it

Iceboxauto do a version for the r56 hatch that will

This exact one no but they offer virtually the same that would: www.iceboxauto.com/mini-cooper-s-one-r55-r56-r57-navi-android-10-carplay-oem-style-radio-mn001-2

@tweedbean thank you so much I can't wait to get it for my 2013 mini coupe s

Sorry I no longer own the car however reverse cameras are set explanatory with lots of RU-vid videos already covering top

No as you have 2 digital speedo read outs on the dash

Ordered 18th Oct, arrive 1st Nov. They are ordered when you purchase and sent to icebox, they then check it and then send it out.

Hi all covered in the video? You are stuck with KPH

@@tweedbean Okay, I was crossing my fingers that you missed a setting. :) Like you said, though, the speed is on the tach in MPH so it's not a huge issue.

is it ok for MOT test if the new stereo is KPH?

Yes as you have an MPH reading on the digital readout above the steering wheel@@kevintse1558
