[@TheMINIVlog]

Trust me, it was very hard to remove that passenger dash number! It was not an easy decision.

[@GabrielGalvan]

Agreed...had the same thing happen to me

[@ThomasBarlow]

That's probably the most unique way of changing settings I've ever seen. I knew something was up after he said "open the door"

[@TheMINIVlog]

I couldn't believe that was the sequence either. I thought it was a joke they were playing on me.

[@hedave3875]

I bought this last week. Did not expect to have done this ton of works. Holy molly this gonna take some time to do it.

[@TheMINIVlog]

It takes a while. Take back breaks while working in the footwell!

[@loelpolo5510]

Wow!! I love that display!! We seen the yellow 2022 Mini Cooper at the auto show yesterday and it is one hot little car. We met our One year goal and paid off our mini Cooper Coupe this month so now it’s time to have fun and add some new stuff to it!!!!

[@TheMINIVlog]

Congrats on that! Sounds like you now have capacity to buy that hot little yellow '22 now! 😉

[@ChrisHampton-db3ui]

Great stuff, love your channel. After living with it for over 2 years now how is it holding up? Still as bright and working well? Thanks for the info before I buy.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks for watching! Honestly, I took the screen out shortly after this video. Nothing wrong with it, but I really wanted 0001 back in the dash to keep my GP close to stock

[@betoest93]

This should be included with the GP3 from factory! As it’s an amazing car

[@Woody30028]

You're a smart fellow with all the repinning that plug.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Wellllll it took me a couple attempts and a lot of patience to get it

[@tasha1982ify]

Good vid! You are getting better with each vid! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@TheMINIVlog]

Well thanks! I appreciate the positive words!

[@tasha1982ify]

@@TheMINIVlog very well deserved 💪🏻🔥

[@chamberlin1]

Been waiting for this video! The makers should allow you to program your car number below the GP logo so that it makes up for the loss of your 3D printed dash panel!

[@TheMINIVlog]

I would love to custome code my number into there! 100 agreed

[@TheJizznurface]

Hey ,love the content so articulate and in depth install really .anyway do they have " ALPINA" logo diplay option?

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks! and not that I know of, I think it's just the list I show in the video.

[@moflexmusicinc.6060]

I miss that secret glove box mini used to have with that panel … , dope install is this specific to the gp or can be used on the regular models as well

[@TheMINIVlog]

can be used on other models as well! I miss the hidden glove box too!

[@BRUNOCMUSIC]

Hey! Great video! Do you know if i can install it in a F56 1.5T engine? Would be great! Thanks again

[@TheMINIVlog]

I don't know the answer for sure but I told imagine it would. It's just reading from the ECU

[@KCnLex]

SUPERIOR job in getting the camera angles such that I can actually see everything you do. I know it is hard when it is on the top of the dash. You are the first video where I have actually been able to see what is being done. I don't know if you have someone doing the shooting but it is so much better that you should give yourself a pat on the back. .....But why take off the 001, wasn't that a big deal when you won the 001 production number? It is super neat looking, I must admit. And ouch as a Mom, put some antibiotic cream and a bandage on your cut! ( By chance do you know which fuse corresponds with the R59 Roadster convertible automatic opener?)

[@TheMINIVlog]

1. I had the help of a camera person and it was a HUGE help to me to get all those tough angles. 2. I made absolutely certain this mod was non-destructive so that I could show the install process and then go back to the 0001 dash one day (and will be doing so very soon) 3. The hand has been treated properly and has since healed! It was scraped up while working with sheetrock in a future video that I can't wait to publish. It was not scraped during the install of this screen, I don't want people to think this is that physical of an install 🤣 4. Thanks for watching and commenting as usual!

[@Osmanliempo]

Even tho its not OEM its still very well integrated.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Agreed

[@Osmanliempo]

Update your idrive ui to 2021 id6! 🤞🏻 that also a nice upgrade. I do wonder if gp also has a new ui... if you dont code id6 on it will just show this ui tho

[@stephanbuell4624]

installed exactly like you did, display works great! however now my nav system stereo doest com on any suggestions

[@TheMINIVlog]

Hmmm something does'nt seem right. Maybe contact the manufacturer? They are helpful when I talk to them!

[@winghuatlooi]

Nice, how long it take to install? need to unplug the battery terminal before install? Thanks.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Approximately 3 hours. It was not in the instructions too, but during the process I thought it was probably a good idea to

[@johndej]

Very interesting! I've been curious about this device. Since I have the extra cargo space door as well as the CD changer in my car, this won't work in my car. But I do love the technology!

[@TheMINIVlog]

It's certainly cool tech!

[@winghuatlooi]

Hi, I got some silly question on this passenger display. Some of the existing owner having ECU problem after use of this passenger display for few months. Since you already install for a year any issue? Thanks

[@TheMINIVlog]

No. Definitely email the manufacturer about that

[@tkaran23]

Hi, I’m facing the same issue. Any idea what the existing owner did to overcome the ECU problem?

[@mertcetinkaya5829]

Hey i have question is this stil working on my MINI COOPER S F56 2014 ?

[@TheMINIVlog]

It should!

[@Colgateras]

What would happen if I install this on the mini cooper electric? Would it be possible?

[@TheMINIVlog]

Really great question! I don't know! I imagine a lot of the data would not work since it's looking for engine stats....

[@sambryant4875]

Is there a way to get the same display with all this information on the center console?

[@carcreationsyt]

Reminds me of a Ferrari! Awesome video!

[@TheMINIVlog]

Haha yeah, exactly!

[@abrabra87]

Can be retrofitted on R56? Or there is a similar device for R series? thanks

[@TheMINIVlog]

Unfortunately just the f-series

[@noad8224]

Can you share the link to buy it?

[@vincentcoli8010]

Can this display be installed in the current production LCI2 (new trim pieces) -- for the F55/F56?

[@TheMINIVlog]

I don't know! Great question! Hopefully someone in the comments knows or you could ask the manufacturer

[@j8rr3tt]

For some reason I thought the GP3s had the smaller infotainment screen. Did you upgrade that too?

[@TheMINIVlog]

No that's what it came with

[@cyprianskiba8768]

Boost and AFR are the only things I would want to know

[@TheMINIVlog]

I hear ya. Boost is all I ever wanted

[@BenRolfe]

Nice work! Looks amazing on the GP 😍

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks Ben!

[@betoest93]

Ben’s the man!

[@richardfairservice]

Excellent video of the install. hope the hand damage was not from the install.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks! Ha no it was from a different video coming out in a few weeks that involves sheetrocking.....and MINI. Stay tuned for that!

[@the_little_car_project]

Can this be installed on a pre LCI cooper S model?

[@crimson49er]

way cool, but the old school hidden glove box is so sweet i'm not sure i'd give it up for anything!

[@TheMINIVlog]

Well I just showed you the first few steps to install the hidden glovebox 😉

[@travelertravel3632]

is it still workıng good? some people says colors problem from dashboard...

[@TheMINIVlog]

I could not honestly answer that. While the screen was cool, have 0001 printed in the dash is cooler so I removed it.

[@sergiogutierrez780]

Would you happne to know if the fuse location is the same for an F55?, looked everywhere for fuse mentioned. Thanks

[@TheMINIVlog]

hmmmmm I would not know the answer to that unfortunately :-/

[@zachariastiger]

Really nice job you did

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@zachariastiger]

@@TheMINIVlog is any possible to show the google map on the display?

[@TheMINIVlog]

No :-/ That would be awesome to have a nav screen on there though!

[@aron1927]

Installed mine on my Mini JCW

[@TheMINIVlog]

Nice! You like it?!

[@aron1927]

@@TheMINIVlog yes I love it! FYI if you break any of the clips on the side door panel your nearest mini dealership sells them for $0.75 each. (I work at a mini dealership)

[@TheMINIVlog]

Great to know! Luckily I didn't break any but I might buy some next time I'm at the dealership just to have them on hand of I ever need them.

[@ZappBranning]

How do you get the GP logo in the centre binnacle display ? I can’t find it in mine 🤔

[@TheMINIVlog]

The center infotainment display? It only comes up after the ECU has been rebooted. I haven't explored how to make it launch every time

[@Pob2278]

Do they not sell these no-more ?

[@TheMINIVlog]

No I dont think they do. DM me on instagram. I might know of a used one that is for sale

[@edoardorolla9959]

Does it mess up with ambient lighting under that section?

[@TheMINIVlog]

I dont have ambient lighting in the GP3 so I can't say. Anybody else have an answer?

[@edoardorolla9959]

@@TheMINIVlog thanks for the answer. I hope that someone can tell me😅

Bummer

After I install it I can't access ECU from obd until I turn it off did you try scann obd after install it ?

[@TheMINIVlog]

I have not. I'll try it later today and see

Unfortunately its only for some F-series models. The website will tell you what models it fits in.

screen fit for f56 jcw 2018? Thank you

It should fit it, F54, F55 and F56 ;)

Yep!

So awesome!

It's pretty awesome

[@juliomelendez6715]

can this be installed in a GP2?

Cool but seems kinda pointless! Idd like one that lets you watch movies for the passenger! That would be sick , I get most of those readings on my gauges on my jcw

[@scottab36]

Looks nice but I'll be sticking with the Torque App on my phone for getting all the engine data I need. #2974

[@TheMINIVlog]

Solid solution for sure!

[@scottab36]

@David Kutchko it's the Torque app for Android. It should just about everything, AFR, fuel pressure, water temp, oil temp, AIT, RPM, speed, exhaust temp, etc.
