Sony Headunit, many different ones work with this surround, this is the one I went for as I got a used bargain: www.sony.co.uk.... They also list it works with:
XAV-3500
XAV-3550D
XAV-AX3005DB
XAV-AX5550D
XAV-AX5650
Orranje Double Din Surround: orranje.co.uk/...
The wiring you get with this kit is what you need, you could get it cheaper by buying them seperately as you dont need the surround from this kit, basically you need:
CTMULTILEAD.2 Universal Patch Lead
Fakra Aerial Adaptor

Brilliant vid, will be doing this myself now, looks so much better.
Thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks for posting. It’s a job I have been wanting to do for ages but could not find a clear instruction video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching, glad it’s useful. Good luck
Love these videos mate.
One suggestion, if i am allowed to make one, is to put the camera somewhere stable as it is very hard to see what you do with it moving all the time , it is making you dizzy , not gonna lie. Cheers keep it up
Hi no problem at all. Working inside the car is always hard especially getting the right angle
No need to loosen the gearstick surround at all to get the pillars out
Pull the plastic dash surround under the speedo dial and they remove easily
It all depends on the year of the mini as I said in the video. Some year pillars can be pulled upwards, some years have a bulbous part at the bottom which means they have to be pulled out from underneath the trim they sit in. It’s a facelift/pre-facelift difference
nice job dude! I've just done a homebrew double din install for my R53 w/an underseat powered slim subwoofer. As I will not be tracking mine, it's perfect for having some tunes while out and about.
Nice I have an underseat sub in mine too 👍🏼
Great video, very helpful.
Thank you
Great job, thanks
Thanks for watching!
No worries, the only thing I’m stuck on is where did you splice in the steering controls, I know you showed the diagram but do you need to splice those ‘key 1’ wires into the car loom?
@Phillc748 it all depends on which brand aftermarket stereo you have. For Sony I didn’t need to splice any wires, I literally just connected to the main block. There are tonnes of videos on RUclips on how to use the “CTMULTILEAD.2 Universal Patch Lead” if you use something different to Sony. They also do versions of this lead specific to your headunit brand
How did you get an ACC wire ( ignition wire) connected to the radio?
Hi do you mean an ignition wire to run an amp, or for the headunit itself? If for the headunit it’s already in the iso block, nothing extra needed
This doesn’t have the HK system does it? Or does it and that’s what the wiring adapter you had when you were showing all the harnasses?
No HK. If you have HK there’s another adaptor you have to get
Does the Sony unit come with the cage or is that purchased separately
Cage comes with the headunit
Would you recommend a particular model of paceman that would possibly be the more reliable one. Im based in the uk
Hi the second generation just like any other car has its weaknesses. Good service history is a good indicator. I’m sure all engines that came in them has some sort of weakness as do all engines. I would go for any model that has a good service history and low miles. The n14 issues are well document but can be reliable with regular maintenance. The SD again had its issues but a good service history again and ensuring timing chain has been done
@@tweedbean is the 2nd gen like a 14 plate onwards?
@sauceNkicks 1st gen 2000-2006, 2nd gen is 2007-2013, 3rd gen is 2014 to today
Did you lower the switches and there for lose the cup holders?
Yes it drops the switches. Those cup holders are so tiny and pointless compared to modern day drink bottles/cups. There’s the one behind the handbrake or if you are stationary, two in the glove box. Finally you can get aftermarket cup holder extenders for the front r53 cup holders, I’ve not used those but they look like they would work with this setup giving you two front cup holders, so I've ordered one to try: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1563048481/
Does this headunit have reverse hackup camera connection?
Yes it does, the others Orranje recommend that work with that surround probably do too
Nooooooo. It's GP. Keep it original
All can be reversed and makes my ownership more enjoyable
