Curious as to what you use as car mount and charger...

 

Here some options form MINI: for the charge / usb connection

You will need the lightening cable one for the Iphone 6+

Couple options for the F56 and F55:

Charges and connects to the USD driver under the toggles.

The Click and Drive system : The MINI click and drive has a very OEM feel as it fits the design of the cabin and comes with holders for certain models like iPhone 4 and 5, and the 6 . See it for the 6 + , i don't see out yet, but will in the future.

Good luck on whatever you decide.

 

You can use any Garmin ball compatible cradle with the Click & Drive.

Also see the Cravenspeed flex mount, I heard they have a new, larger one for the 6+.

 

Check out ProClips. I have one in my F56. Perfect for me.

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

+1 for ProClips. I have one in my F56 as well and while the installation in this particular car was a little challenging, I swear by them. I've used them in 2 other cars.

 

I used the cravenspeed xxl clamshell. Also selling it since i got rid of my mini.

 

Welcome.

 

Heads up 2016 F56 owners. I ordered this unit and it does not fit the 2016 mini. There was a change to the blind ring that it mounts to. (actually the change was to what the blind ring itself mounts to.) It no longer works. I contacted proclips and they just learned this as well a few days ago. They are working on a new mount, but until then, hold off on ordering the 2015 mount if you have a 2016 model of the F56.

 

+1 again....

Worth every penny, second car I have used them for as well.

 

I just bought their setup for my Iphone 5 and the mount is solid. Great stuff.

 

I just had the C&D installed with the Mini Garmin (Garmin from my Gen 2); I like the heads-up feel it gives.
