Thanks and btw Happy New Year

You need the combox and Bluetooth antenna, all communication and Bluetooth runs trough the combox no other way sorry. If you had Bluetooth phone before than you just need to move some cables from the back of the radio to the combox if you did not have Bluetooth before you will need to install a microphone also.
thanks man,
I am realy appreciate of all your help here...
Just looking for the right combox what is difference between 2011 and 2013 I see the neew one does not have the optic cable? Would the new one work also?

Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the connector for the fiber and the car is completed I would have to take it apart again to take a picture and that is a lot of work. Can you take a picture of yours and I can tell you what is wrong? On the emulator they all look the same from the outside the way I decided which one to buy is reviews and amount of sales the one with the most positive reviews and sales is the one. Unfortunately from China everything is unknown.

I don't think there is any difference between 2011 and 2013. There is two models of the combox (Media and Telematics) you need the Media version. Look at the pictures that I posted. It could be from BMW or MINI it doesn't matter as long as it is a Combox Media. I have no idea if the new type will work I would stick with the old one.
I run the fiber cable under the steering wheeel down the side to the combox. The connector for programming don't matter where ever you feel it is easy to get too. My connection is where the USB/AUX plug is there a plastic cover that hides the screws it is sitting in there. I don't think there is a standard location from MINI.
Many thanks to the Ahorvath !!helps I finally finished my retrofit and I am realy happy mini connected, bluetooth, usb all works fine. Just only one thing I need to do is synchronize vin in all of my parts I ad .. So another my project running beside this was do my own scanner tools for coding ..
I know how but have some problems to get all the things works right 😅😜😋

It sounds like you have a problem with the emulator. Remember without the emulator none of the functions will work because it fail to authenticate the FSC codes. Check the connections.

Thats what I am thinking I will check the connection of the emulator monday maybe its bad itself or just bad connection will see thanks for the reply.

Do you think I could made some changes to emulato when I did try my ncs expert?
I meat this emulator could be seen be scanner as media or something? I been trying to change the vin with winkfp but just in parts I see the different vin but no luck so I will do it again in work with abrites its more easy.
I don't think so I did all my programming with WinKFP and everything is working. Some people say that don't do any programming with the emulator connected but I had no issues.

Well, Ill see tomorrow I will try to change all the vin numbers in all parts I have changed and then will check the connection of the emulator and hope that there is just connection issue .... Thanks Vik
So I have done the coding by insta p with icom and most connection and now all works good .... Just don't have voice command but I think its just some coding in spec. Place to unlock... Am I wrong?
Its took 2hours for program and coding but its also synchronize vin.
