Mini Cooper CarPlay Stereo Back Up Camera FULL INSTALL. Single DIN
#minicooper #r50 #coopercarplay #cooperstereo #cooperstereoinstall #removecooperstereo #cooperdiy #minicooperstereodiy #singleDINcarplay
This video shows you how to install a cheap after market CarPlay unit in your Mini Cooper. This is a 2002 model. The install is a pretty easy DIY, but it will require some time. Longest part is the back up camera install, so if you don't need a back up camera, it will definitely cut your time down.
I am glad I changed the stock stereo. Now I have CarPlay, reverse camera, and navigation. None of which I had before. If you don't want to use the cheap Amazon CarPlay system I got, the install will still be basically the same for any system.

Jataza Wireless CarPlay and Dash Camera Easy Install. Comes With Back Up Camera Too.
I am wounding if the radio is still working if you recommend this product
Still working. I would recommend this if you want the cheapest one. But there are newer models with faster CPU and more memory. My bro said every now and then, this screen blank, but always comes back on after turning off then on.
Definitely Lexus over Tesla and Toyota with the comfort and ride quality Lexus has we are on our very first Lexus and we absolutely love ours and I know as soon as we can later down the road get a newer Lexus from a Lexus dealership
Thanks for the vid, I used your link to get a set for my recently acquired Ele. Wonder if there is a good film to use on these to make them yellow tho, would be sweet. Me personally thinking to use some black zipties to mount it in the larger lower gap below the main logo grill. Gotta measure and see if its still high enough off the ground to be legal, but I assume so since the factory fog lamp spots are at about that level. But yah this looks like a great kit and very affordable, can't wait to add these. Never thought i needed fog lights till i really found out what real fog is like in Iowa. I definitely don't want to be without them when the temps cool off and fog starts being a thing. Thanks for the great video, I always like to guage how hard a project is before I get going, but looks easy enough. Thanks for the tip on the firewall, will need that later when i finally add some sound system upgrades beyond what can fit in the stock spots for speaker and deck :)
For the stereo, this may help ruclips.net/video/rd918_O9_Fs/видео.html
@@GearGadgetExperiments very cool, thank you!
when you reverse, does the back up camera show the colored guidelines that help with the direction you’re going in? those are super helpful i doing think i could go without them
never checked if there was that option
Boot of Corolla hatch is a joke, considering it's smaller than boot of a Yaris
350h a far better choice. 😊
No plugin option for the 350h. That was one of wife's requirements. Paying less would have been great! Haha
@@GearGadgetExperiments $25k premium! 😬
To be honest, if video doesn't really show substantial differences, it's likely not worth the upgrade. However if you upgrade to Yellow DRL Highbeam bulbs like Hella, those will make a difference easily both visibly and cosmetically.
It's been a while since you posted this video... would you still recommend this dashcam? Has this setup affected the main windshield camera in any way?
Worked great. We actually needed it as evidence when someone hit my son.
Supplied gloves are for installation, youre not supposed to introduce hand oils directly to the LED (which i noticed you did multiple times). Clean LED lasts longer than ones that have been touched by bare hands
where do you put the wifi antenna?
back of the unit
EV's are completely different than ICE's, experiences in making ICE cars does not mean they can make good EV's.
wait, aren't those paddle shifters for regen?
it’s weak, i rather use one the vent since i don’t move vent up/down..
The nx is perfect! Not too big like the rx! It’s nimble and makes it easy to drive and park! You don’t feel like you’re driving a bus! If you know what I mean!
I don't think I would gain that much space by removing this panel permanently like you're doing... Do you think it really makes a big difference? But I'm glad you had your video up because I lost one of those nuts for the seatbelt bracket and needed to take apart the side wall to get it out....
Do items slide around in the bed or stay put while driving.
depends on the item. but holds much better than paint
I found the bottom of the headunit loose, like the clips dont fit very well. Plus there wasnt any area to bolt it down with the original bolts.
Thanks. I was wondering what that extra cable connector was for that came with our Maverick. 😂
For cars where the oil filter can be accessed from the top, an oil extractor is a good option, unfortunately for me (and you because you still have the maverick) the oil filter can only be accessed from the bottom so if you are lifting through car anyways, you may as well just use the drain plug and ensure you extract all the used engine oil anyways. Appreciate your channel, that is a very useful tool!
trucks are easy to crawl under.
Do batteries need to be disconnected?
I did not
@@GearGadgetExperiments thanks!!!

Love the dust/smoke coming from the zippos when you take the insert out
As soon as I saw the controller template, I thought cassette tape! Lol
Haha. Yes, you are right!

How does the Satellite XM radio get installed with the new radio upgrade because my radio came with a pre-installed XM radio.
Sorry, I don't know. I don't use XM, just the music apps and they work great with carplay
leave the screen alone and drive. thats what your there for. distracted drivers are the number one cause for crashes today.
Thanks for sharing 😎👍
(Correction) From my understanding 2024 Mavericks without a rain sensor should still have the wiring for it installed. Is there any reason you can't use that assuming it's there? Also did that come with the fuse box adapters or did you have to buy that separately?
I don't know about the 2024 models. Mine is 2022. Had to buy the fuse adapters separate. Links are in the description.
Does the electrostatic sticker stay on the windshield permanently? Does it cause any glare issues?
Stays on. No issues
Will it let you stream video from Netflix or youtube?
no, you need something like this one ruclips.net/video/O1aJsF9lYeY/видео.html
@@GearGadgetExperiments Thanks
Do the backseats recline?
just a little bit

A used first generation Nissan Leaf might be another option in this price range.
lets see where this mini gets me. haha
@@GearGadgetExperiments micro MINI camper 🤔 😊
For sure, I had that in mind for my other channel. haha
I like the styling of the NX and the colors it comes in over the Rav4 Prime, but I’d encourage anyone to cross shop this with the Prime XSE because while this has a much nicer luxury interior, the Prime has a lot of practical advantages. But if you want a Lexus, well its definitely not a Lexus. I have to say around where I’m at both cars are hard to come for purchase, but the 450h+ is especially hard to find for sale and I’ve only ever seen one on the streets. I see the Primes every day. I own one so I’m pretty good at spotting them. I highly recommend either as being able to drive electric most of the time is a lot of fun.
Wife loves the NX
I love the body style of the minis, this one is a bit rough but I think it will make a great project
Definitely needs some work...
I’d love to have a microwave for heating meals on long road trips. I think the stock inverter is only 400 watts.
stock inverter is indeed too small for a microwave. You probably need at least 1200w or so.
Did you just free draw your lines? Lol
Yes! haha. After the video, I found masking tape to be way better, but our HOA made me remove the tape. They don't complain about chalk though.
The only thing about NX is the run flat tire. What do u think?
They feel fine, but I won't replace with expensive run flats when they go bad.
Is it ok to switch from run flats to a regular tire? I mean, is the car in some way configured for them?
No issues.
@@GearGadgetExperiments thanks. And thanks for the review. Love the car 👍
Thanks you for the review
How have your seat back covers held up? I just got a Corolla hatch and I'm interested in getting them!
No issues with them.
Interested in getting this! How has it held up over the last year and a half?
No issues with them
@@GearGadgetExperiments Thanks! This seems to be the best affordable option for the Corolla. I wasn't about to spend $200 on Canvasbacks when I already have the all weather mat
You have to do some customization, but it works :)
I drive my Maverick all the time and I get now about 30.1 miles per gallon. Today someone drove my truck three miles, and when I got back in it, it said, fourteen point one miles per gallon, why would that be?
Were they hauling heavy stuff or trailing something? Person heavy on the gas pedal? Also, they could have drove somewhere and parked with engine on and AC running, then drove back. Idle with AC on will really hurt your mpg since you are not moving, haha.
I have an prius 2010-2011 hybrid. What din is this > 2din, 3din ? Can i put a modern navigation with bluetooth ? I have a basic version, only with cdplayer and radio.
If you don't have a back up camera, maybe you should buy this. It fits perfect in the trim. Don't have to worry about din size. amzn.to/3TbHS7N
Are this device compatible to motorcycle?
As long as you can safely mount it and give it power.
The person that goes in here next is going to have a hell of a laugh.
Well if you are with four other people that $21 flashlight isn't going to be any good now is it?
Where can I buy this and how much it is if you don't mind answering

@@GearGadgetExperiments got it thanks
@@28mirac28did you get one for yourself? if so how is it holding up?
Some MPG/gas cost number crunching I did that some of y'all may appreciate, assuming US avg of 1,200 miles driven per month driven and $3.36/gal national average: * Maverick Hybrid at 40MPG would consume 30 gal of gas per month, $100/mo or $25/wk (+2MPG changes to $24/wk, -5MPG changes to $28.75/wk) * Prius at 50MPG would consume 24 gal of gas per month, $80/mo or $20/wk (-5MPG changes to $22.40/wk) * Newer Prius at 60MPG would consume 60 gal of gas per month, $67/mo or $17/wk (-5MPG changes to $18.32/wk) and for fun, the non-Hybrid Maverick Ecoboost: * Maverick non-Hybrid at 23-30MPG (EPA city/highway) would consume 40-52 gal of gas per month, $134-$175/mo or $33-$44/wk * Maverick non-Hybrid at at 33MPG (Cars.com testing) would consume 36 gal of gas per month, $120/mo or $30/wk I threw in both EPA and non-EPA numbers because many owners (and Cars.com) report notably better MPG than EPA
@@corombb thanks for the numbers!
