Road Top Wireless Carplay Retrofit Kit Decoder for BMW Mini Cooper One Hatch Clubman F55 F56 F54 F57 NBT System 2014-2018 Year, Support Wireless Android Auto, Mirrorlink, Reverse Camera

Omg! So happy. I have had this in my basket for ages but was really nervous about breaking my car by taking everything apart. I watched a few YouTube videos beforehand and while doing it and it literally took me 20mins and was super easy.I am so happy that I now have CarPlay in my mini, it is so much better than expected. I would 100% recommend.They only issue which is not really an issue and going to WhatsApp the seller and ask a question but Siri works but I can’t hear what Siri is saying as there’s no sound. Minor negative but may possibly be a setting I have not set as yet.Also it fitting make sure you have the T20 screwdriver and I bought the plastic things that help take of the vent easily.

This device is so easy to install. It looks complicated, but actually it’s all plug and play technology - don’t be afraid of doing it yourself. We had some minor hiccups with the settings, but these were human-error. You really need to follow the step by step instructions. There’s a support email and WhatsApp number that you can contact. We used the WhatsApp twice to contact them, and they responded within a day. Very efficient, friendly and quick responses.This is a MUST HAVE device if you haven’t got car play in your mini.Great product, great quality parts. It just does exactly what it says on the tin. I couldn’t recommend this enough to anyone

Now that it’s all installed, an excellent upgrade to the Mini system. A few things to know before you buy:1. Go watch videos on how to install - if you watch carefully before you start, and refer as you’re going along, you’ll be fine2. The instructions provided don’t even mention Mini - but don’t worry, it’s exactly the same as a BMW 1 series with a 6.5” screen, so just do what it says3. Take a note of the sticker on the unit before you install. If, like others have noted, you need a software upgrade before it works with your car, it is much easier to have this to hand then to have to undo everything again!4. You’ll need a T20 screwdriver and a set of spudgers to lift some of the panels, again watch the videos and you’ll see what I meanIt’s a fantastic bit of kit and I’d recommend it to anyone with this era Mini. Knocked off one star because of the software upgrade issue, but Road Top customer service were very helpful and I was up and running within 48 hours!

I had this in my basket for a good while before buying as I was nervous about self installing but needn't have worried.Finally purchased having watched a few YouTube videos for guidance.It was a painless job, even for an aul doll of 50 like me 😝I'd the screen off, kit installed & dash back together in 45 mins. It literally is plug & play & seller has been excellent answering a few wee questions I had regarding settings. I definitely recommend this bit of kit & seller 👌🏻

Looks like a brilliant add on to your mini but I returned it as I was not willing to take half of my dashboard off to fit it and all the different wiring that came with it, too much for the average person to fit.

This has breathed life into a slightly older (2014) Mini which has a decent display but no CarPlay or nav.I was a little sceptical at first, but I did a bit of research with some YouTube videos showing installation for Mini F56. A simple plastic trim removal spatula and a T20 torx screwdriver is all that’s really needed.Installing in my Mini was very straightforward. I’m no expert but fairly handy with car head units and a bit of a CarPlay fiend so felt reasonably confident, but this was a breeze. Dipswitches need to be on for switches 1 & 2 and off for all the others. That’s it.I had the whole lot in and completed within half an hour. I didn’t need to take off the air vents as the CarPlay box is slim enough to fit behind the big centre screen. It’s tight but fits and the large connector can-bus cable is just able to sit alongside the CarPlay unit. I stuck the wifi antenna onto the back of the NBT head unit.Some minor issues when connecting but that was mainly down to the settings on the Mini NBT system and not this unit. It did drop the connection when I started the engine the first time but has been fine and fast to connect since then.As I use CarPlay pretty much all the time it’s great that within around a minute the phone is connected wirelessly and in the CarPlay mode right from the off. In fact I’d go so far as to say it’s faster connecting than my wife’s 2021 Audi A5. At this price point you just can’t go wrong!

I purchased this as a black Friday deal, it was a Christmas present for my daughter , who owns a 2017 mini Cooper , I also purchased a trim removal kit , which helped.I followed a YouTube video for instructions and everything ran smoothly, my daughter loves the fact she now has carplay.As long as you take your time and think about what you're doing, you shouldn't have any issues. It worked straight out of the box, so unlike some others I have had no upgrade issues.

I have been using this now for about 5 months and although it's a great unit, very responsive and works perfectly with my wife's Mini. It just drains the car battery, for some reason it just never seems to turn off. It constantly tries to connect to either my phone or my wife's phone if we have Bluetooth on. And even if you select "Forget device" it still tries to connect to the phone. Constantly draining battery is annoying.
