Hey, anybody has an idea? my stock radio sounds horrible, i want to upgrade it, but i don't know if its possible.

 

So, you didn't get the upgraded stereo?

 

I have the MINI hi fi system, but i want to install my Alpine Multimedia Player and a focal set, thats why i'm looking the way to install a different head unit

 

Moving to R56 Electrical Modification.

 

Welcome to NAM

Good luck the head unit is integrated with the speedo i think i have seen it done once somewhere *srugg*
If you just want Tvs in your mini why don't you get them in the visors and headrests? What it sounds like to me is you had this in a single or double din in your previous car (Honda, Nissan, or, Chevy) and now (since you've spent the money on it all ready) you want to stick it in the mini's dash. So you know it probably won't work. But we at NAM suggest the trail blazer attitude so make sure you take ALOT of pictures during the install. I myself am somewhat curious how it will turn out as well.

 

Technically the head unit is already Alpine...whether it's the Hi-Fi system or not...but that's just me being a smart-a$$...that and i'm almost at 100 posts so why not make it closer?

EDIT: Someone else had a thread where they put an aftermarket one IN the dash padding on the passenger side. Not sure where that thread went.

 

I was the one who had the stereo in the secret compartment, u can search my posts to find it. it was a while back but the only way I know of to put it somewhere in the dash less someone else figured it out

 

i just really wish there was some way to get an aftermarket system like the cleansweep which you could hook up an ipod to and display through the factory display.

 

Here's what I did if you're interested in the S compartment install
