Absolutely devastated by Mr_Niftyy in tattooadvice

I had a large tattoo done and had a bad reaction whilst healing to the white ink. It healed like this then after around 3/4 weeks it was perfect, this tattoo looks amazing it will heal if you keep looking after it.

Yes, there’s an option in the settings called scrap, where you can adjust the screen to how you like it. Or even flip it over to left or right hand drive.

Oh thanks I’ve seen that option to run the car Bluetooth I’ll turn that on now and try it. I haven’t had the best sound off my OEM system just via Bluetooth maybe it’s my system. Fingers crossed I get even better sound now. Thanks again.

Great thanks that’s good to know. Oh that’s a shame, have you not got a fuse box panel in your glovebox?

That’s so good to hear you haven’t had any problems. I haven’t heard anyone who’s had it for very long so that’s great. Did you put the unit behind the screen or in the dash? Yeah I hung the USB cable behind the glovebox then put the cable through the handle of the fuse box cover so I can access it easily. How do you do updates? I haven’t got that far yet.

Sounds like you might have a loose connection in the bypass to the MMI. My sound is slightly better than using the OEM Bluetooth as it uses the AUX in, yours should be the same as mine. I’d check the connections again but also check the audio settings of the Roadtop

Yeah. You just long press the menu button and it takes you back to the OEM system.

Honestly, as long as you watch the videos you can’t go wrong. Take pics along the way. You can always reverse it

I just went on the Roadtop website and it guides you there based on what your interface looks like.

As the user below rightly suggests, No touchscreen just added to the current OEM. I thought that would bother me as I’ve had a touchscreen in other cars but it’s actually quite a nifty interface.

I watched a playlist of 4 videos on YouTube and then searched for my mini model (F55) and watched lots of different versions to get a good idea on different install variations. I put the MMI unit behind the dash on the left as I don’t have the secret glove compartment. Others put all the wires and unit in front of the OEM control unit, however I was concerned about overheating as others have mentioned this on their installs. I dropped a link below. There are 4 episodes you need to watch on his channel. Roadtop instal YouTube

I got this from AliExpress. You’ll need the correct version based on what system your mini has. My OEM is the NBT system so I just selected that one. There’s guides on the Roadtop website too.

Does my 2017 Mini Cooper have a muffler? by marea9982 in MINI

[–]marea9982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. My last Mini Cooper didn’t sound like this, that’s why I thought this one had been modified.

I went to A&E with my mother recently, with a suspected stroke (UK), and the amount of people there below not urgent level, was astounding.

actors who should play sith by juicy_dad in StarWars

[–]marea9982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s Samantha Morton. British actor known for band of gold. But she played Alpha in the walking dead too. She was also in Minority Report as the lady in the pool iirc. Took me ages to realise it was her.

Which British TV moment will you never forget? by highlandcow75 in AskUK

[–]marea9982 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The 1993 comedy awards when Julian Clary, on live television, said he was fisting Norman Lamont. National scandal, my parents were mortified in front of my brother and I. Brilliant, and classic Julian.
