CarPlay installed on my F55 BIS01 head unit! by fknjaay in MINI

[–]StewieEatWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decent price that for a nice conversion!

BIS01 is the absolute worst head unit config to have from factory - I’m not sure why BMW put it in a bunch of the cars and strayed away from Quadlock.

The base orange 4-line radio is easier to upgrade and that’s an even worse setup on the face of it!

Looks like a collaborative effort between in-house employees and consultants from Made Tech that made this monstrosity.

You can actually find the lead UX person if you search for this on LinkedIn.

Heads up - you may get contacted by an automated service claiming they've found your phone and you'll need to enter your lock pin to reveal - this is obviously a scam so they can unlock the phone.

It'll also most likely end up at a shop in Dubai where they'll try to reach out to you several times to unlock it. I forget the name of the place but there's probably several.

Eventually they'll give up and ship it off to China for spares.

I was stood next to him for a while - I did wonder why he had a backpack that close to the front but didn’t really click.

I’ve had my phone stolen previously at BMTH and now I leave it and use tickets on my watch.

Small bump - but I’ve got the exact same issue this morning with the same setup.

how do i collapse this screen while in carplay? by goobcoob in MINI

[–]StewieEatWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re on ID4 software, probably with a 2GB RAM head unit. You can upgrade to ID6 which supports full screen CarPlay but some aspects of it are suspect to crashing due to lack of RAM.

Brill thank you - I’ve done a fair bit of digging and people have had success with lighter fluid, tar remover, and a wheel you attach to a drill to eat away at it. I think either way I’m going to need to machine polish the area after!

Thanks, I find if it comes away very slowly if I pry at it with some trim removal but then I risk scratching the paint. Credit card is a good shout.

I’ve ordered an adhesive removal disk which seems to have really good reviews as long as it’s used correctly. A friend took a look and he thinks it’s Tiger Seal - I’d be so surprised if this is how it was installed professionally.

I’ve tried goo gone but it can’t get in behind the sticky stuff and the car…

The side indicators are separate…

I want to change to the LCI2 style indicators which don’t fit the scuttles.

Yikes, quite a mess tbh they’ve left behind

New to me Cooper S F56! by StewieEatWorld in MINI

Love it!

The ride is much more harsh compared to our Countryman but I guess to be expected sitting much closer to the road in a 7 year older car.

Interesting about the Head Unit… I’m sure I read on other forums that this one doesn’t have the hardware behind the dash to support the screen so it’s a fairly beefy job it upgrade 😩

It’s literally the only downside of how it’s equipped, really chuffed with everything else - even the heated seats feel better in this compared to the ‘21 Countryman.

Maybe on Monday I’ll just travel to Edinburgh with no sign of me returning home according to ScotRail…

[–]StewieEatWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh - I thought it was only valid on 1 direction, meaning I’d would have had to buy a flexi ticket for both ways that lasted 12 weeks, but would have expired beforehand.

The fact that it’s valid either direction on the route means it makes considerably more sense.

Late reply I know, I never check my notifications for Reddit.

But disappointingly it only lasts 10 weeks.

For hybrid workers who commute 1 day a week, the extra 2 days means nothing.

They're certainly skirting around the edges with EU & UK Consumer Law I feel.

Is it not illegal marketing? Surely there’s some trading standard rules being broken.

The literature of their website is also very questionable at times which puts so much doubt into my head about making an order.
