How To Replace Your Mini Cooper Original Radio To Android Auto / Carplay

In this video I show step-by-step how to access and remove the factory radio in a Mini Cooper S R53, and it also applies to Mini R50 and R52 models. You’ll see exactly which trim pieces to remove, where the hidden bolts are, and how to safely get the original head unit out without breaking clips or damaging the dashboard. I then show the installation of an aftermarket radio using the correct wiring adaptor. This is a full DIY guide, filmed in real time, with no steps skipped.
