Yes finally! That’s the unit I currently have on my 2015 F56! Looking to upgrade it a newer one. I hope when this video goes live it’ll help me answer some questions.
If my F56 does not have a factory iDrive control knob, will this still work? Do I need to purchase a new center trim console to fit the aftermarket idrive knob? Any additional wiring?
The installation of an iDrive controller is not necessary, since the device is designed to be used via touch screen. However, if you have the coin slot cutout already installed in your centre console trim, then you can install an iDrive controller. If your system requires the NBT headunit, we provide an iDrive controller with all of the necessary wiring to install this.
Hi, is there any Instruction that shows how the controler cable is pulled to the central Console? I already Removed the central console but still dont now how where to fit the Cable through..
HI,there just trying to help my friend to upgrade her stereo due to parking Sensor. Just checked with mini dealer for the car if they can upgrade stereo but they said the car it is not compatible.So i need to conform that the stereo is fits with no problem and can it be fitted with parking sensor ?...
BUEN VIDEO COMO TODOS LOS QUE TENEIS, MUY BIEN ESTRUCUTURADO Y FACIL DE ENTENDER, ESTABA PENSANDO EN PONER ESTA PANTALLA, PERO NO SE QUE MARCA ES EL DISPOSITIVO Y SE QUE VOSOTROS MONTAIS CALIDAD, ME PODEIS AYUDAR, GRACIAS
Hello I have a mini cooper s 2016 F57 I want to know if it's compatible but above all will I keep all the engine controls and checks such as tire pressure, checking my engine oil? Does this module allow me to keep my reversing camera finally all the options I have on the factory module but with Android in addition? and what is the price please Thank you Sincerely, Serge Mourre
Do you have any social media page where I can share some pictures. What I did is, I tried to replace mini 2016 display with mini 2018 one. Everything is connected, just that little black wire done there has 6 pins in the new one and the there is a slot for connecting the display to the car but my car doesn’t has any options.
Unfortunately, we cannot assist with swapping OEM headunits. However, if you have any other questions, you can always reach out to us via our socials, Instagram (@scpautomotive) or Facebook (@scpautomotiveltd)
Very interested ! Is there a video showing it in action ? To see if it's laggy or not. Is it compatible with the original microphone if mini is already equipped with Bluetooth? Does steering wheel controls works? Does led ring still works ? Do we still have access to original menus of the basic radio ?
Our new video function guide can answer some of these questions: • The video linked above shows how smooth the transitions are for this headunit. • Steering wheel spoke controls such as volume up and down, are compatible with the headunit. • The microphone provided to use with this display, is the only microphone that the display will recognise. • The headunit retains all access to original MINI settings, these can be accessed in the “Car Settings” application. Regarding the other question not answered by our current videos. We do have another guide coming soon which will answer the question for the Excitement Package LED Ring. We hope this helps :)
Does this come with music Bluetooth? At the moment my F56 2016 SD only has AUX/USB and Call-Only Bluetooth - Would this allow a media bluetooth connection to my android phone?
I have this and have an issue making and receiving phone calls. I can answer and call with me hearing the other person but they can't hear me. Any advice on how to resolve?
Does it come with those tools to help the install process?? I got mine delivered to Los Angeles today! So excited to install it! I hope I don’t run into any issues!
We're glad to hear that your display has arrived. The tools are not included at the time of writing this message. However, we are working to find a tool set for this to help with the installation. The main tools required are a T20 Torx Screwdriver and a trim removal tool, which can be found at most hardware stores or online.
@@trzeciakwojtek hey, yes same unit and it worked perfectly. The only downside that I have noticed is with the time. It always resets to China time zone. It only corrects once it’s connected to your CarPlay. Other than it’s awesome in my opinion. Also brings a screen protector already installed which is a good detail
@@sertsert-uz6jn Thats so amazing! Thanks for replying so quickly. I am about to buy a 2014 cooper s, but it has this horrible radio without the naviagtion or carplay. I was looking for a solution. So you are 100% satisfied? You recommend i buy this? The china thing is fine, i have the same thing in my truck.
@@trzeciakwojtek not sure what phone you have(android/iPhone), but I have an iPhone and it works flawlessly. So If the clock thing doesn’t bother you, then yes I would recommend it 👍

What upgrade do you plan to do?
how to check oil level please because I have the original autoradio only for this ? thank you
Hi, at 2:12 - can you verify the color connectors and what they are connected to in the car in the OEM unit in the video?
Hi! The cable that's connected @4:09 - what is it used for? I can't see it being connected to anything later on - would appreciate some advice!
If my F56 does not have a factory iDrive control knob, will this still work? Do I need to purchase a new center trim console to fit the aftermarket idrive knob? Any additional wiring?
I’d love to know the same! If SCP could reply it’d be appreciated

Is the original chime retained? Asking b/c i lost the chime in my truck when i installed an aftermarket radio, and I love the mini cooper chime.
We can confirm that the OEM MINI Cooper chime is replaced when installing this unit.

the standard multimedia seems to have the led strip when disassembling, it only seems or actually has the led?
Can you do one with a backup camera and do you have any suggestions????
Will this work with Harmon kardon (idk if that’s the right spelling I’m researching for friend) audio system?

Does this unit also act as a proper DSP? If not, is it possible to mount it together with a DSP?
Can you add a reverse camera with this radio? Thanks.
Just checked you website, I’m assuming this product will posted once this video goes live? I want you buy it!

@@scpautomotive thank you!
Does anyone know if this radio has support for the MOST fiber optic cable 6WB to do the digital cluster upgrade?
No, this display upgrade doesn’t support the MOST connector.
Can you add a reverse camera
Will this work with the original fictions of the radio. Like the lights, suspension adjustment, tachometer display options?
where do you feed the mic?

Does it require additional coding ? I’ve got a 2016 Mini Cooper 5dr f55 with EntryNav non touch, was looking to upgrade to this.
No additional coding is required
Went on your site says preorder

Does this come with music Bluetooth? At the moment my F56 2016 SD only has AUX/USB and Call-Only Bluetooth - Would this allow a media bluetooth connection to my android phone?
Yes, this unit will allow a standard Bluetooth media connection.
Where did you put the external mic?
Did you find where is best to route the mic so people can hear you?
@@vizzionnz9658 Nah, I just have it hanging around my rear view mirror any other place my voice sounds distorted or quite.
Any issues whatsoever with the replacement of the orange boost radio with Harmon Kardon 12 speaker system?
Since this product is not compatible with Harman Kardon, you may experience no audio from any source, due to a difference in the connections.
@@scpautomotive thanks for the info. Any idea what CarPlay retro fit would work with orange boost/Harmon Kardon?
Would you have any idea why the radio does not show the screen settings (ambient lights) on the android radio?
Due to limitations in the hardware, this feature cannot be accessed.
Superb video
Will this work with HARMON KARDON?
Unfortunately this product is not compatible with Harmon Kardon.
What SIM card does it use? Is it the Mini, Micro, or Nano?
Does this work on f60?
Bonjour, super vidéo ! Mais où avez vous brancher le connecteur blanc 6 pin qui se trouve à côté du bouton de warning (connecteur noir)
Je me pose la question ! Tu as eu la réponse ?
I have this and have an issue making and receiving phone calls. I can answer and call with me hearing the other person but they can't hear me. Any advice on how to resolve?
Did you find a resolution to this?
Did you find a resolution to this?
@@vizzionnz9658 nope wish I could find one
is it ok with apple too? iPhone 12 mini
Yes, we can confirm that this works with iPhone 12 mini.
You forgot to remove the stock unit springs and apply them on the android one
Anybody had any problems with installing this or is it pretty straight forward?
Will we be able to access the menu of the car? With all the information, like maintenance and all?
All information is retained. A separate video will launching very soon that will answer any questions like this.
Does it use genuine mini parts?
No, this is an aftermarket, android based headunit.
@@scpautomotive Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up

From watching a few of these videos, Im'm pretty sure you need some additional coding.
