Thanks for this video. Super helpful and informative. I particularly liked the way you fixed the unit behind the glove box panel which I've replicated on my install. In some other videos they've just rammed everything behind the centre console screen and screwed it back - very messy.
Thanks for the great feedback, glad it was useful
Thank you for covering this much more affordable solution.
Glad it was helpful
Thanks dude, this is super clear and useful.
No problem!
very informative step by step 👍 Thanks very much
Thanks for watching, great feedback
btw the push pins under the round instrument, push them gently, and not too far in !!
I used a small torx screwdriver, the inner pin went right through and out the back and made a nice tinkling sound falling down inside the console and was never seen again... :-)
Good tip
I'm having a 2021 Cooper S shipped to me (if all checks out I will finalize and purchase) but I'm having the hardest time figuring out whether it has Apple Carplay or not. I asked the dealership but they aren't Mini/BMW specific so they were clueless. It has the smaller screen but it does have the nav package. Do you know if the smaller screens with Nav are touchscreen and if they come standard with Carplay. Crazy how complicated it is to figure out. It has everything else checked except the larger screen. Moonroofs, Harman Kardon, etc. I find it pretty weird that any of the Harman Kardon equipped cars have the smaller screen but for whatever reason this one does. Thanks.
Sorry I am not clear on the newer f56 stuff from dealership
Very informative video, thanks. If you are listening to the radio through the standard system and then switch to the Car play, does the radio carry on playing. If so, does it mute when the getting navigation instructions through the car play. A second question, can you use Siri by pressing the voice button on the steering wheel?
To use Siri, you just say hey siri. I've not tried using the standard radio mixed with carplay as I would just use radio via carplay streaming service.
Excellent video sir
Many thanks
Looks like an interesting addition. My problem is that I rarely use my radio/music function. Even on long road trips, I prefer the sounds of the car and road. Thanks for the excellent install video though!
Thanks for sharing
Hi the link to where you purchased the box in the description isn't working. Country you let me know where you bought the box from as I'm looking at doing the same.

any advice on what the issue would be if I have a ‘no signal’ message after installing? the normal menu with 7 icons works fine, but then when I hold the menu button to switch over to carplay, it says ‘no signal’ and goes black. thanks!
Thanks for watching, take a read of the instructions as it has an FAQ at the back that answers this issue: mega.nz/file/LNh2iQoK#evnTzsQgcWFzy9YKH0DVDMi4UPgRsT1xxqIhr9uMVgo
Sounds like you have the wrong box man
Hey I have a mini one D with the same system you had. Blank screen flicks on and off and the ring light above doesn't work did yours have the same issue ? I Will upgrade to this but I feel like it's an electrical issue as had an ipod plugged into it overnight forgot to unplug it
Sounds like you haven’t plugged something back in properly
Got the unit having watched your video. Gonna install this weekend following your guide
Installed. But when I play a song for example on carplay the radio is still playing. Probably a setting somewhere. Any ideas ?
You need to go back into mini menus and set audio input to aux
@@tweedbean thanks. Is that in the menu of the car system or a menu within the CarPlay box ?
Sorry I’m thinking of my f56 not paceman
@@tweedbean it’s a 2016 cooper bud
Cool video, I’m about to buy a used f56 :-)
Good choice!
@@tweedbean indeed :-) quite happy these days with a volcanic orange cooper S
any tip where I can find new head unith with apple car play? my 2014 head unit is dead so I need to buy new one
I haven’t seen any myself try search eBay as a starting point 👍🏼
i currently have the BIS01 unit, would the one linked in your description work for me? i do not have facebook so unable to check with the link
Hi unfortunately with the latest head units it’s hit or miss on advice on if this would work, from what I have read no but worth you reach out to suppliers to check.
Ive got the same box as you but I lose audio and it doesn't come back when I switch to reverse (factory parking sensors) - any ideas?
Have you looked at the reverse settings on it?
i have connected my Carplay box to my 2014 Mini Cooper S and everything works fine except for the DAB Radio. When I come out of Carplay and press any of the DAB buttons I get No Signal on the screen. If I press the button for the local DAB station that works as long as it is away from buildings. If I remove the Carplay box then all the DAB staions work fine. I have had the box replaced but no difference. Do you have any idea what could be wrong and does your DAB work OK. Sorry for the long message
Thanks for watching, unfortunately not something I have experienced. Maybe try talking it through with the supplier
@@tweedbean Thanks for that tweebean, its a strange one
Great video, really helped me to install CarPlay I’m my f56
Unfortunately, when I’m shifting reverse and then drive again, the system fails and I can’t enter CarPlay again (I have to shout down and start the car)
Another problem that I have, when I calling someone, the mic doesn’t working…
Do you what is the problems?
Very odd not see that behaviour myself, have a read through the faq doc from the manufacturer and if that doesn’t cover it, speak to your supplier
Hi mate, great vid. What’s the purpose of the cable hanging out the glove box and does it need to be hanging out at all times?
Hi thats the USB cable, you can route that where you like and is purely if you want to charge your phone while using apple carplay. or dont want to use the wireless carplay function
@@tweedbean thanks for the reply mate, so does that mean you can use the cars original usb charging port and have wireless CarPlay so you can hide that cable behind
Do you happen to know if this will work in a 2017 mini cooper?
All depends on what head unit you already have etc
Just had these guys fit mine in my R56 and its brilliant 👍 have you worked out how to screen cast/mirror from your phone yet ?
Thanks
Hi never tried that to be honest as I use Apple CarPlay all the time
I know some systems require ur parking brake to be on. I don’t have this system yet but that’s my guess
I retrofited mine was working fine until I installed 3rd party camera now the original mini idrive system switch to BMW idrive system. Is there anyway to bring back to Mini idrive? Super strange glitch now centre dash ring light and radar sensor warning doesn't work.
Really odd not heard of that, have a chat with your supplier
@@tweedbean Yeah I not getting a good answer from supplier. but thanks for the response!
do these guys have a website?
how to change ring colors ? my od only Red ... and i dont have psychical buttons to do it
From memory there are options in the menu system on the screen itself. Not sure you can pick specific colours but maybe different behaviours
Say you are listening to music on CarPlay when you go back to the idrive does it still play with it being on aux?
I’ve never come across a situation why you would switch back to idrive while listening to music. As nav etc is all through CarPlay.
I find myself in my own mini going to the trip computer every now and then would be nice if the music from CarPlay would carry on playing in the background as I switch between the two
@@jebd240 I wil test it tomorrow
Nice one mate appreciate it
Hi yes it still works.
Does it come up on the HUD when using map apps?
I don’t have a hud, but I would guess not
Great video. How do phone calls work? Any issues with echo?
Phone calls are all good. Couple of issues is the lack of ability to update the Rev counter clock
Hey guys (F56 here) I want to know if it is normal that after reversing the car, you have to press and hold the "menu" button again to put the carplay back? (It was already activated before reversing)...I am wondering if something is wrong because it should come back to carplay automatically. Thanks for reading and supporting the cause!
Hi having drove my f56 yesterday, yours should automatically switch back to CarPlay once you take it out of reverse, mine does. Have you checked the faq supplied with it?
@@tweedbean Thanks for taking the time to reply. All of the sudden it starts working properly the week after that happened. Thank you again
Hi. Doesn't this unit have wireless andriod auto
Probably yes but I’ve never used android
Every 2017-2023 mini cooper has built in Apple Carplay?
Not that I am aware of but I could be wrong
👏🍀✌️
Thanks for watching
You need to know what you're actually doing 😅
fake it until you make it
