Looking for a complete system that will fir my 2016 F56 mini Cooper
Navigation and car play

 

There are some Chinese based replacement units, installation seems to be not so simple. Something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-6-0-...-/112397505625

Good luck, be interested to hear how it works out.

 

This item is for a second gen MINI, not the F series cars.

 

Go to the website of that manufacturer and you will find an F series version.

 

Sorry to butt in but is there not an OEM solution? I'm sure its already been gone over but I am VERY new to the F56 so I am not sure of the terminology to even search for.

 

It's EXPENSIVE to retrofit. My dealer said its probably cheaper to buy a new Mini. Im sure they are being dramatic but I did a rough price out and it was well over $7k to get the OEM nav setup

 

Thanks so much for giving any kind of idea. I knew it would really be high but the canned response seems to be it would be cheaper to just buy a new car with those options. I want to ask if they've priced a new car with those options lately! Yes, a bit dramatic indeed.

 

Start trawling eBay. You will need the screen, head unit, touch controller, center instrument trim inserts, possibly center trim between the seat. If it's anything like when I retrofitted the OEM nav into my '09 R55, you may also need to build a few cables by hand.

If you're willing to do a lot of work and figuring it out yourself I suspect you could do the job for under $2000 in parts.

 

Maybe this?

I would say to do another aftermarket unit would cost a few thousand in simple fabrication cost and then theres the issue of either losing the info center like most did in 2 gens, or the labor to relocate units and configure them. I may order the Nav unit and hope it comes with RCA outs for amplifiers so I can work from there.
