R56 (2006 - 2010) MINI Cooper Speedometer and Radio Removal How-To

I'm taking apart a 2007 MINI Cooper S and removing the speedometer/stereo. I also show some info about installing an amplifier under the passenger seat.

[@lastfrontier]

Your video just saved me hours of frustration. I choose to install a toggle for the rear fog lights, I think I removed a few unnecessary screws, but it was no big deal. At least I didn't have screws left over after the job. Thanks again.

[@jaredthereal]

Thanks for showing this! My climate control pixels were all dead and I had to install a new panel. This saved me a lot of headaches. If anyone needs an extra toggle panel for rear fogs, let me know.

These cars are more complicated than they should be.

Excellent tutorial

[@carl2earth]

Nice work dude! Big help. I have to replace 2 of these this week...

[@MrWonChong]

Thanks for the comments everyone! Glad it's helped! @Will-There are no RCA outputs on (almost) any stock head unit. I used an AudioControl DQL-8 to convert the audio, but you might be able to get away with using something with less controls.

MrWonChong hey, i have a mini cooper clubman s 2009 do you know where i can locate the Bluetooth module ? because my Bluetooth, aux and usb won’t work, on the menu a dash appears under and I cannot connect or usb and aux won’t recognize my phone

[@miguelcastro9428]

Great video and awesome work explaining step by step. Question?? After installing the speedometer cluster; Does it need programming or calibrating??? Or it’s just plug and play??

[@thejhurley816]

Legit video. Good job

[@JodBronson]

Anyone knows if the Bluetooth is part of the Radio? Bluetooth Wireless giving me headaches, I just want to remove it. THANK YOU !!!

[@Caraudiolasfuentes]

Un trabajo bien hecho. Gracias.

[@JodBronson]

PLEASE HELP ME! Anyone knows if the Bluetooth is connected to the Radio or part of the Radio System? The Bluetooth is giving me mad headaches. YES, you heard it correctly, it's giving me MAD headaches. I just want to remove it and if anyone knows it is part of the radio? If it is, I can get rid of the radio and YES I DO NOT mind. I'd rather have headaches free, I can live WITHOUT a radio. THANK YOU !!!!

[@WeKnowYoureThere]

Het man. Great video. Do you know how i would remove the trim around the edge of the speedo/tacho/air vents/speakers. Want to change the colour

[@MultiTbone25]

Are there RCA outputs on the rear of the stereo? If not, what did you use? Thanks.

[@JohnnyZenith]

Can you install a touch screen stereo in this mini? A 2009 Clubman S. One where the screen comes out and folds up?

[@imsmokingcheese]

Hi, I have found a sure who sells one. It doesn't pop out but it installs straight in dash. I'm looking at these videos to see how tough the task before I end up buying it.

[@MatteoPivato]

is possible to remove only the up side of dashboard?

[@74M4L170]

Did the stereo ask you a code?

[@Neptune8]

Was the mini in a collision?

[@lokumia]

Where i connect the Remote from the Amplifier??

[@Car-multimedia]

Nice products. he he

[@악마는피스타치오]

Good^-^

[@Isaac-pg7th]

What are the dimensions of the space under the seat?

[@amirgonefishin]

Great video but was it filmed with a potato? lol

[@juanjchong]

It was filmed with a very old camera way back in 2009. Sorry for the bad quality!

[@baristadrifter]

Wow Amir... great comment 7yrs after the fact 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@sunvol4503]

Why did you show how to unplug the air bags? Are they known for going off with subwoofers or something?

[@jesusalejandrodelarosaesco7951]

I think it was to remove the seat. They should not be triggered.

[@clintongovender3063]

Where can I connect the radio remote cable for the amplifier? Is there a amplifier remote cable anywhere close to the boot?

[@sunvol4503]

Clinton Govender you have to make your own. Connecting it to the cigarette lighter in the back is a quick fix.

[@JoeWinsome]

does the stock stereo have RCA jacks?

[@sunvol4503]

Joe Winsome no
