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.

I like to share my experience with the assorted things and products. I try to unbox and give initial impressions of the gadgets I get. I also like DIY modifications with my cars and home. Hopefully, my videos can help you determine what fixes you might want to make or things you might want to buy (or not buy). I usually prefer budget items that offer high value with less than premium features. Fine! you can say I am a bit on the cheap side. haha
