Hello

My sister just got a 2019 Countryman S and I just got the new Uniden R7 for my Q50S 400 Red Sport. So she wanted my old V1. I got her a mirror mount which fits perfectly and an invisicord. I searched this forum and found someone that did it on a Mini Cooper. I tried the same leads and it didnt work.

Here are some pics, please help

Thanks!!


This is the one I found for the Cooper. It didnt work. It looks similar to what my sister shows...

This is how it looks on my sisters Countryman.

 

I did but ran the fires to the fuse box

 

I did this on my '18. I'll have to check my pics to see which pins I used. I remember it being VERY finicky until I got it just right..

....

OK, sorry, I just checked my pics, and I didn't seem to take any of the wiring parts. I do recall that I used a multimeter to makes sure 12v was not present when the car was off. After starting up, I made sure the same circuit was on with 12v. The connections with the supplied pins for the mirror mount/wiring kit were 'universal' but not optimal for this install. Try different sizes. I think what I ended up doing to get it to work was to carefully bend the pins so they would have a better chance of touching the wires inside the large black connector. I think the problem is the pins are too thin, and although they push into the slots, they don't actually touch the metal contacts inside very well.

Good luck.

 

I totally forgot about this thread lol

Can someone tell me the exact wires to use to power the radar??

 

I’m in the same boat with my 2022 Countryman JCW, plus I have no idea how to get the overhead console cover off.
I can chase wires and power, but I’m a little nervous about just tugging on the plastic console.
any tips?

 

Ill check again in the morning, I think it was pretty easy. The whole thing comes off

 

Thank you!
