Any idea where i can order this bracket with the screws you are installing it on 10:35 with the tape ? I have also the same mini and need them to hold the radio

[@GearGadgetExperiments]

You mean separately? Mine came with the stereo

[@bmw4life592]

@ yeah separetely

[@GearGadgetExperiments]

@ if you are in Orange County I have an extra set laying around somewhere

@@GearGadgetExperiments I am in OC and I need it also, can I pick it up? Plus I have a problem getting the trim under the big round cluster to clear the top of the new stereo.

[@GearGadgetExperiments]

@@jta00r1 first you need to make sure you have the stereo to the lowest position available. Then I used a little force to make it happen. It needs to bend a bit to get past the stereo bezel, then it will flatten out after it passes. Email me directly if you are still interest in that bracket. Didn't one come with your car stereo?

I followed this exactly, but the unit doesn't power on! I tested the unit straight to the battery, which works fine and turns on, but it doesn't work when wired up to the car. No power at all to the unit. Any idea of things I can check/try? Thank you!

[@GearGadgetExperiments]

sounds like the connections to power and/or ground are bad. I would double check the connections. Do you have a volt meter? Make sure it is ~12v across those lines. If you read 12v then check the ACC 12v line to make sure it is 12v when the key is turned. Good luck

Got it to work, the issue was I had blown both car fuses that go to the radio! I think I did this by trying wires in the wrong places but then got a multimeter and made sure I was connecting the correct wires. This was an awesome tutorial video and really clear to follow along to! I've never really done much electrical things so appreciate you going through every step so clearly. Got it all working perfectly in the end!

How does Waze work on that vertically narrow screen?

[@irvinec3270]

Map apps work fine. Of course it is smaller, but I had no issues with seeing what streets to turn on.

[@lawrence5017]

Did you have a Harmon Kardon system before? i thought you needed s special adapter and control box to make the HK amp work.

[@GearGadgetExperiments]

Don't know which system I have. But I didn't need anything special for my system to work.

[@jeohist]

If you have a Harman Kardon system you'll want Connect2's CTSBM011.2, it's pretty much plug-and-play.

[@DaBlahdeVomGodskinDuo]

The only one thing that reeeaaally bothers me on that thing is that delayed action when you swiped the screen. This would drive me nuts...
