Just watched the video, i bought a R53 a couple of months ago I didn't know i had a GTA car kit...and this video helped a lot with the modes etc. Thank you Keep it on you tube!
Hey kpiza, i had the same issue with my gf's mini. The silver panel around the speedometer above the radio needs to come out slightly in order for the side pieces to be removed. Its attached w clips and one screw which is upside down inside the glove compartment. Loosening this silver panel enabled me to remove the side pieces which allowed me to get to the radio. Other than that install was a piece of cake!
I got the radio unit out and checked if all cables where connected, but that wasn't the problem. I saw some kind of fuse (with a number 2 on it) and got it out and back in. Now it works again!
I had exactly the same problem. What you need to do is to remove 4 additional screws. Two are located in the front cup holders and are easy to get at. There are two more underneath the control panel that moves the wing mirrors. You'll need to pry the cover off with something, and be careful not to damage the trim. Do a google image search for "replace mini cooper radio" and you'll find pictorial instructions. Finally, the kit only works (for me) when the key is turned to position 1.
I have installed something similar, but when trying to select the newly connected bluetooth kit (via cd changer), the cd changer option does not even appear. Is this a compatability issue perhaps?
Just installed mine and if you or anybody else is having problems read on. I tried to follow this video but on my 05 mini cooper S the panels were not falling like this dude said they would. What I did and you guys can do if you are having this problem is to unscrew the same screws this guy unscrewed. Then remove the screws that are on the front cup holder and the ashtray. Then you will have to remove the little panel that adjusts your side mirrors and the 2 screws inside and that should do it.
Hi There, I owned a Mini Cooper 2009 model in Singapore. Would appreciate if you could show me the installation instruction of the GTA car kit into the factory stereo system for my Mini.
I have a 2004 mini cooper s, and the side panels holding the radio won't come off. I have tried different things, none of them work. I don't want to apply unnecessary roughness.Your video make it seem so easy, am I doing something wrong? I appreciate any helpful information
i have a 2003 mini cooper, i just bought a Sony stereo, also i ordered a harness and some kind of antenna cord, so everything is working when connected, but no sound, i connected every wire to its proper position, but still no sound......plz respond a.s.a.p.
Hi there, I've just bought a Mini One D from 2003 and my radio is almost the same as yours except for the volume button (with me it is smoothly round). Can anyone tell me for sure if I need the round or flat pin adapter? Would be handy to know before I start with the operation so I can do it all at once... Installing another radio that is. Kind regards, Denzel
Hi I'm having trouble find the right kit for my 2006 min, I have went through the link you have provided but the page is black. On the gtakit website there is no mini cooper option. please help
@@megansimpson1769 congratulations on your new car Megan! I've had my car mechanic install me a new radio and it had worked well. They only thing he didn't manage to do was to connect the radio to the function keys on the steering wheel. Have fun with your new Mini!
Esto no sucede porque debajo de cada una de las dos franjas laterales grises hay un soporte de poliestireno negro. Si nunca se ha cambiado la radio, se deben quitar estos dos soportes. Para hacer esto, se debe quitar la parte central de los ceniceros y la caja de engranajes. Hay otros videos que muestran esto.
