2009 Mini Cooper R56 - Navigation and Audio

Hello Good People,

I own the 2009 MINI Cooper Hardtop 2dr Cpe S (0911 Model Code) and interested about enhancing the audio radio/navigation.

Been scouring the internet about the mini cooper navigation systems that is swapped out with the odometer. I like to have navigation but little confused what is
compatible with my mini and what is not. Secondly, of course reference as to what is good and what to stay away from.

Please advise so I can weigh this out and make a excellent investment vs. paying the price down the road months later.

BTW: this is my mini and a work in progress.....;-)

Thank You,

tvos

Not really.. I have seen the different products out there and researched the reviews. Some good, some stay away from.

Here are a few that I performed searches on via google:

https://www.google.com/search?q=mini...hrome&ie=UTF-8

I would like to have navigation unit that is current that supports Oreo with google streets and with additional applications I can install.

So far from what I have seen the one company at: https://www.seicane.com have negative reviews for the navigation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank You,

tvos

Hello and appreciate the follow-up.

More a less from other people who have purchased the Nav Units for their mini cooper. Reviews and base on their experience.

Did a google search and some of these match what I am looking for.

https://www.google.com/search?q=mini+cooper+radio+navigation&rlz=1C1EJFA_ enUS776US778&oq=mini+cooper+audio+na&aqs=chrome.3. 69i57j69i60l2j0l3.8974j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Been seeing many negative reviews for: www.seicane.com so will be staying away from them.

Difficult to determine who to go with.

Thank You for your help and any suggestion you might have

You posted in the Gen1 section and as our cars come standard with a crank up Victrola I am going to move you to the Gen2 section.
