Retrofitting MINI Nav in R56 JCW

My 2013 R56 LCI JCW did not come with MINI Navigation from the factory. Is it possible to retrofit MINI Navigation into my 2013 R56 JCW ? Has anybody tried this and is there a DIY for this swap ? Thanks in advance.

the stock mini nave system isn't great... it wasn't even great when it launched and it hasn't aged well!! LOL! - you'd be better off buying an android based unit that will allow you to use CarPlay or Android Auto - the screens tend to be a lot bigger and more responsive and you're getting a lot more modern interface - I've just bought this unit myself:

what do you mean status? - you get a digital read out on the new screen which you can switch between MPH and KPH
