MINI R53 Fitting a double din carplay headunit install Orranje Double Din Surround R50 R52 GP JCW
Items purchased to do the swap:
Sony Headunit, many different ones work with this surround, this is the one I went for as I got a used bargain: www.sony.co.uk/electronics/in-car-receivers-players/xav-ax3005db#utility_links_pdp_default. They also list it works with:
XAV-3500

The wiring you get with this kit is what you need, you could get it cheaper by buying them seperately as you dont need the surround from this kit, basically you need:

Nice. Good. Job
Thank you! Cheers!
Would you recommend a particular model of paceman that would possibly be the more reliable one. Im based in the uk
Hi the second generation just like any other car has its weaknesses. Good service history is a good indicator. I’m sure all engines that came in them has some sort of weakness as do all engines. I would go for any model that has a good service history and low miles. The n14 issues are well document but can be reliable with regular maintenance. The SD again had its issues but a good service history again and ensuring timing chain has been done
@@tweedbean is the 2nd gen like a 14 plate onwards?
@sauceNkicks 1st gen 2000-2006, 2nd gen is 2007-2013, 3rd gen is 2014 to today
Great work...thank you 😃👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Video before sound and after... sound plz
ua-cam.com/video/Zpkx8SwHDGI/v-deo.htmlsi=uFi98Zq7IA8M9VBu
Love these videos mate. One suggestion, if i am allowed to make one, is to put the camera somewhere stable as it is very hard to see what you do with it moving all the time , it is making you dizzy , not gonna lie. Cheers keep it up
Hi no problem at all. Working inside the car is always hard especially getting the right angle
Doing mine gloss black. Was hoping it’d be a two piece unit with a removable grille but it’s just a moulded piece.
The S ones have a removable grill
@@tweedbean Just taken a look but mine is a non S R52. Idea was to do the frame gloss black and the vent purple to match the car. Just looking for aftermarket ones without the S or the R52 on them. Not much about nowadays it would seem.
Does removing the bracket between the backrests reduce the strength of the crossbeam it’s attached to?
No
nice job dude! I've just done a homebrew double din install for my R53 w/an underseat powered slim subwoofer. As I will not be tracking mine, it's perfect for having some tunes while out and about.
Nice I have an underseat sub in mine too 👍🏼
Hi, please help how to remove a stuck screw adapter. Can't remove mind and it's so tight. Thanks in advance
Spray with penetrating oil, leave to soak then use a pair of locking pliers/mull grips maybe. Does it not have a screwdriver cut out on it for a flat head screwdriver?
How can I get the nut out of the trunk😭😭😭
Did you lower the switches and there for lose the cup holders?
Yes it drops the switches. Those cup holders are so tiny and pointless compared to modern day drink bottles/cups. There’s the one behind the handbrake or if you are stationary, two in the glove box. Finally you can get aftermarket cup holder extenders for the front r53 cup holders, I’ve not used those but they look like they would work with this setup giving you two front cup holders, so I've ordered one to try: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1563048481/
Great job, thanks
Thanks for watching!
No worries, the only thing I’m stuck on is where did you splice in the steering controls, I know you showed the diagram but do you need to splice those ‘key 1’ wires into the car loom?
@Phillc748 it all depends on which brand aftermarket stereo you have. For Sony I didn’t need to splice any wires, I literally just connected to the main block. There are tonnes of videos on UA-cam on how to use the “CTMULTILEAD.2 Universal Patch Lead” if you use something different to Sony. They also do versions of this lead specific to your headunit brand
Does this headunit have reverse hackup camera connection?
Yes it does, the others Orranje recommend that work with that surround probably do too
Does the Sony unit come with the cage or is that purchased separately
Cage comes with the headunit
Took me a bit but I found the spot where you use the small screw driver. Now.. Do I pull out on the tab or do i push in? so afraid to break it!
pull on the tab
This doesn’t have the HK system does it? Or does it and that’s what the wiring adapter you had when you were showing all the harnasses?
No HK. If you have HK there’s another adaptor you have to get
Brilliant vid, will be doing this myself now, looks so much better.
Thanks for watching
Nooooooo. It's GP. Keep it original
All can be reversed and makes my ownership more enjoyable
Lovely gp1 that. But do you still own or plan to do any gen 2 content? I have a cooper s jcw tuning kit. Would love more r56 content. 😅
Hi thanks for watching. I don’t currently own a 2nd gen but never say never in terms of the future
@@tweedbean shame that. The yellow one you owned was especially lovely. Hope to see more gen 2 content in the future. ☺️
Is removing the trim where the shifter is necessary? Done it plenty of times by just popping down the under tray on each side, undoing the torx bits and the down tubes just slide out
It makes it easier, I’m sure it’s possible to do it other ways, this is just the method I follow
I can’t believe how easy is looks I’ve been putting off removing mine, thanks for sharing!
Happy to help!
thank you again for your videos, you are really TOP! I have a question if you could choose would you take this remus exhaust or the JCW pro mini? I have the impression that the Remus makes a lot more pop which bothers me a little...
Hi thanks for watching. I’ve never had an F56 with the JCW pro exhaust so I don’t have a comparison. I would image they are very similar
Thankee!
Thanks for watching
Hello y have the same radio and the same problem before installation i have error the tyres impossible the remove!!
It’s a flaw I hadn’t spotted and I don’t think the manufacturers did
Jesus ,focus on the camera Thanks 👁 🙏
🤣
Hi, Did you have any problems after installing and using it? style engine light too much air fault etc?? I don't really want to do a repro on the car. I had this problem on my BMW after several months of using the eventuri I had the engine fault and engine light. I then took it off…😢
No problems at all on mine. Still running this on my daily and have had one on a previous car no issues
Thank you very much! Love the blacking out motive.
Thanks for watching
Grazieeeee
Thank you
Thanks
Thank you
Ruined it tut tut
🤣
Smart looking car, regarding the routing of the stainless lines from the struts. Mind the stainless lines dont rub through the steel brake lines. May be worth putting cloth tape & foam to space them apart.
Great tip, I will take a look
Very helpful Video! I will switch my "Park Lane" Interior from my old worn out car (300.000km) to my new old one (105.000km), because the beautiful seats are worth it. 😀 Thank you very much from Germany 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks bud couldn't have been easier.
Glad it was helpful
I hope nobody puts oven gloves in a gas oven 😂
You'd hope not
Love your enthusiasm for the project 🙂 Not sure i'd want to have ride height like the lowest position on UK roads 🙂 What happens if you get a problem in the air system BTW, do you end up at lowest ride height? Asking as a mate had an airbag fail on his 5 series BM and it dropped it to bottom hieght....
LOL mine wouldnt even move on the lowest setting, its sat on the arch liners at that point and on the floor with the bumper/side skirts. All depends where you get the issue, if one bag fails the car will stay pretty level due to the other 3 corners, it would only be if lets say you lowered all 4 corners then your tank or pump broke, you could be stranded. I have air on 2 of 5 cars so I could always steel a pump or management if I ever had a failure but its rare, same as if you snap a spring on stock suspension, that would strand you too
@@tweedbean Yeah i hear you. Had a coil spring go on my BM a while ago. Could limp along real slow to garage at the end of the street. But dropped ride height a bit to the point where getting on the recovery truck snagged the front splitter and cracked it a bit.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
An interesting solution for all type of road conditions... Mine had Bilstein lowering springs on Koni Yellows and -1 Toyo Proxes RA1 track tires (on 1st Gen Team Dynamics) when acquired, which didn't suit my local streets and highways. Now with same OEM JCW Sport Suspension springs you're removing in combo with +1 Mich PS4S tires, I'm quite satisfied. In any case, pleased that you're storing away the OEM GP bits while also avoiding cutting any interior carpeting, panels, etc. Good job! I'll continue to monitor for future updates.
Thank you
What source do you recommend for replacement JCW decals from the front brake calipers?
I bought these for £4, not sure how they will hold up after time but for £4 its worth a go: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226010942913
@@tweedbean - Awesome! Thanks!
Track car on bags don't look right to me, but each to their own...
Thanks, totally agree, I love we can make Mini's our own. I think the same about the OEM 18" wheels with run flats from factory, always seemed an odd choice.
@@tweedbean you totally missed what he pointed out .
@@BullyBoxer hi again 😂 no I got exactly what he said, I agreed with his sentiment and also confirmed I have similar opinion but related to tyre choice by MINI, I think run flats on what he deemed a “track car” doesn’t sit well with me
Hi my friend I have a 2018 JCW mini Cooper S carbon edition and I am looking to put air suspension. What should I do and what kind of air suspension should I get? How much do they cost and who can I trust to install it?
You are limited by who makes what struts for your car but you cant go wrong with air lift performance, I had there management on 4 cars now and their struts on 3 of those. Air setups are very expensive, new for the equipment can be around 4k-5k plus install costs. You can save money by going used as long as you see it working before you part with your cash.
@@tweedbean also, I have been trying to get deep dish black wheels 17s and I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the bolt pattern and the right wheel. Maybe you can guide me in the right direction
I'm looking for suspension setup for my r53. I'm thinking of going bc racing, but the ride might be stiff . Will airbags handle well in track as well as provide a comfortable ride ? Also what is the cost of air ride?
Mate if you are looking at BC’s I would say air isn’t an option you could be close to 4/5k. BC’s are good on the r53 and you have adjustable dampening with them
Not for everyone but it's your car and if your happy great
Thanks
Are you selling the wheels
I will be
@@tweedbean why ? surly keeping them ? especially with all you've been preaching about keeping the cars original parts as providence .
@@BullyBoxer the wheels on the car in the video are aftermarket wheels, team dynamic 1.2’s not the original GP wheels. I have the original GP wheels stored away in the garage nice and safe not going anywhere 😉
Did you ever find a clean solution to covering the gap at the top when retrofitting this grill? purchased an aftermarket clone(glossy) for extremely cheap to judge if it would fit/look nice on my cooper S, and am very happy with the look. need to find a proper fix for that gap before i can justify purchasing a proper (non glossy) OEM grill.
Yes there’s an OEM part from the gp3 that you can buy, I don’t have the part number to hand but your dealership could get hold of it if you give them a gp3 reg
Nice video, thanks. That push pin underneath I don't think is original as mine are looking different.
Yeah mine had been in a crash at some point so likely someone put the wrong pins in
