Hello guys

This is my first post in this forum here and I hope I'm in the correct section...

I own a Mini Cooper S (2004) and I need to change the radio, as the old one is falling apart. I've been to a local "audio specialist" and he told me all adapters etc will cost me around 600 Swiss Francs, which is about 400£. 

As I'm a total beginner with cars also all behind it, its still very expensive and I cant belive it...

Can anyone help me?

Best regards
Josh

This forum is mainly for classic mini owners so might get some better answers over at MINI2.
I know a little about radio wiring, and yes you will most likely need some adaptor to change it for a aftermarket radio but I don't think that they would be £400 pound, more like £20 but if you feel confident with wiring you could cut off the factory connector and wire up a new ISO connector which is the standard aftermarket plug

Any other audio experts to take it to ?
Some people just want to make money but as above an adapter to change the radio is normally £20-50 then it depends if your gonna wire it yourself or not

All you will need to change to an after market head unit ( radio ) are ISO connectors. These are standard fitment and go straight into the wiring. In the uk they are about £20 ish....

 

 

I suggest you try a decent "specialist "

No need as the MINi wiring accepts standard ISO adaptor leads

Don't know if this is what you need, particularly after bad boys comment but look at the link below

The second pic is for the antenna. You will need the adaptor plug to fit for aftermarket head unit
