- i hope this video helps you decide if this aftermarket headunit for your mini is what you need. you can find the same headunit in aliexpress or if like me you prefer somewhere local (im in the uk ) i used this website.

• MINI F-Series Android ...
Wish you would have shown yourself connecting the cables 😅
I followed the other video that’s why I linked it in the description because I just followed what they did.
I got exact same HU it is pretty decent for a Chinese product. The deal at SCP is a rip-off though, got it from aliexpress for about 400€. You can actually change the setting to RHD, that might fix the issue with left/right door
Can you share link to the product you got?
Exactly what i was looking. Tnx. in Aliexpress there are so many units. Which system this orange screen? Because i don't see orange screen in compatible system lists there :)
I bought it from another place not from Ali express.
Great video
I bought this unit recently. Can you add a front camera to this unit as well? If so, will it go to the yellow port with DVR- V label?
Is the console stable without the bottom screws?
Any functionality issues so far?
It is stable without the bottom screws. I guess you could add a front camera I don’t see why not.
The issues I’ve had so far I think were my fault so I took out the unit fixed what I did connections were loose or wrong and then everything was fine.
I’m very happy with it tbh.
Hi, i was just wondering can you turn off the radio when driving or does the screen have to be on at all times. I can't find a way to turn it off?
Just like the factory radio if the car is on the screen is on.
How do you make the light ring follow the Ambient lighting? I have the exact same headunit and have been into the factory settings with the password 1912 and still cant get it working.
You can’t it’s really annoying but you can’t. They should update that and let you.
@@JohnyRodrii Yeah it is annoying, I saw a video of another headunit being showcased in some Chinese factory or something and it was identical to ours menu wise and backend wise except theirs was cycling through the colours.
If you go to settings light settings you can choose some stuff like air con revs etc. but not ambient continuous light.
@@JohnyRodrii I've messed with it all, I only use the setting for driving mode
Are you still happy with the upgraded stereo?
Do you still have problems with the mic for the phone and that the person you are talking to can hear themselves?
A tought, can't you not connect the original mic?
I’m very happy with it especially the audio, it sounds much much better. I had a Bluetooth receiver before and it sounded very average but this stereo has surround sound(go to the settings of the head unit and choose it) and it sounds a million times better. The double audio thing only happens with apple carplay if your connected via Bluetooth but not with apple CarPlay there is no double audio( I’m guessing it’s a problem with the apple CarPlay app used called zlink) and I used the mic that comes with the head unit.
Another thing I should say is there is a slight delay when you press next song a 1-2 second delay and that’s because I have CarPlay through Bluetooth. You have a usb to use with the head unit to connect to CarPlay if you choose I’m guessing that will fix the delay but I just didn’t want cables around so I have it wireless and there is a delay when changing songs.
Apart from that I’m very happy with it.
Hi, I've just installed mine but the phone volume is poor, where did you fit your mic?
@philhyde9694 I put it on the vent at the top where we put the gps right on the other side. I kind of explained in the video where i put it. But on the top vent.
Thanks Johny, I managed to change the door open warnings by going into the factory settings and selecting right rudder. Apologies if you already knew this.
Where in settings is that option ?? Could please explain ? I don’t know how to do that. it would actually be great if you could explain in detail.
Does your factory USB Port still work, and does it have wireless apple car play?
I haven’t needed my factory usb so haven’t tried it but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, I didn’t mess with any of those connections so it definitely should work. And yes it has wireless CarPlay
@@JohnyRodrii Awesome. I am ordering it. Thanks for the response.
I've just installed mine today. You can connect the cars usb cable into the new head unit. Im just having problems with my battery since I installed mine. Hopefully it's just time for a new battery and it's nothing to do with the new head unit 😊
@@sarahjackson4858yah I have had 0 issues with my battery so I would say it's probably time to change it.
@@JohnyRodrii thanks, I can verify now that factory usb work and android and apple car play are wireless.
Does anyone have the factory password for this system?
It’s in one of the other comments
