Upgrade the factory radio in your Mini with this complete single or double DIN stereo fitting kit, designed specifically for Mini Clubman (R55), Hatch & Convertible (R56, R57) and Coupe & Roadster (R58, R59) car models. This package provides everything needed for a professional-quality installation while maintaining the vehicle’s original appearance and compatibility with modern multimedia head units offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB+, Bluetooth, USB and touchscreen functionality.
This kit not only retains factory steering wheel audio controls but also preserves your vehicle’s PDC (Parking Distance Control) tones. Many Mini models use a CAN bus system to transmit parking alerts through a dedicated OEM loudspeaker. With the included CAN bus PDC loudspeaker module (used alongside 42-Series ACV steering wheel control interfaces), reverse sensor alerts are fully restored after upgrading to an aftermarket stereo — ensuring safety features remain intact.
The kit includes a vehicle-specific fascia panel, steering wheel control interface, universal head unit patch lead and Fakra-to-DIN aerial adapter, offering seamless integration with no modifications required. Installation is plug-and-play and fully reversible, making it suitable for professional installers and DIY upgrades alike. This is the ideal solution for giving your Mini the latest in-car technology while maintaining key OEM features.
It is used to connect an aftermarket stereo upgrade and retain the use of the volume, track skip, source and phone buttons from the steering wheel with the new radio.
The CANbus interface will also provide ignition, illumination, speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake output signals to the new stereo.
The cable adapts from the Quadlock connector in the car to standard ISO aftermarket ISO connectors. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable.
OTHER NOTES
Some BMW cars go into Eco mode and the +12V supply to the radio drops causing the memory of the new radio to be lost, these cars will need a power supply directly from the battery to be supplied.
Installation instructions are included.
When replacing the factory-fitted radio in many modern vehicles, one of the common issues is the loss of PDC (Parking Distance Control) audio tones. These sounds are typically generated by the vehicle’s CAN bus system and played through a dedicated OEM loudspeaker when reverse gear is engaged.
This CAN Bus loudspeaker is designed to be used in conjunction with a 42-Series CAN bus steering wheel control interface. It restores the audible parking sensor tones by converting CAN bus signals from the new interface into sound output.
A simple and essential add-on for retaining key vehicle functionality when upgrading to an aftermarket infotainment system.

HU manufacturers use different variants for connecting a steering wheel remote control interface.
Depending on the manufacturer and device, single-cable controls, two-cable and multi-cable controls as well as jack controls can be used.
The connection variant can be found in the manual of the HU manufacturer.
All connections must be done before connecting the interface to the vehicle.
If necessary, the SWC function must also be programmed in a HU menu according to the HU manufacturer manual.
Check for function before final assembly.
