I have a couple mini newbie questions

I have a couple questions regarding a few things I am looking to get done to my 2013 countryman S. If you can answer 1 or all of them I would be extremely thankful! Lowest cost to best quality is a plus!

where to buy a cheap front license plate holder

what interior leds work best for the color change effect

how to stop the wipers from going automatically in a carwash

how to stop the radio volume increase/decreases while driving

how to change the door speakers without destroying the door also does the speaker change make a difference if you stay with the Factory radio?

is there a website/vendor that most members go to for discounted mini purchases.

Thanks for all your time!!

Welcome!

You should be able to activate/deactivate the rain sensor by pressing the end of the wiper stalk.

I will definitely be trying the wiper button.
I was scared to death when I went thru the car wash and my wipers were going.

I believe that worked for the volume fluctuation! I was wondering what SV stood for.
