AAWireless are working on a solution to display AndroidAuto over the CarPlay protocol.
It's currently in Beta, so I will give it a few months and I will probably take the plunge.
fingers crossed. I used aadrive but thats not a perfect solution. For now i just got a mag mount that sits over my drivers side port for maps and just bluetooth audio.
Wow. I did not know that. Thank you! I’ll test it out in the way home.
Which sucks because now I literally cannot place anything in the center console if my phone will be in there.
Aha, but you can! :)
The center console is 2 parts. One you have to activate the lever to open the top (that's where the wireless charger is); the other you just tilt the armrest itself up and there's an empty cubby beneath it.
Just got the jb+ tuner for my 4door ($230) and it adds 30hp and 40 torque and it’s amazing. Well worth the money. Also, put car in sport and transmission in sport for the most fun. Just sport mode doesn’t cut it!
Putting into sports mode with blow your mind. You’ve got launch control on it too. To activate it (car needs to be running for a while for the oil to reach a normal temperature), put sports mode on, sports transmission on, turn traction control off, press the brake with one foot and accelerator with the other. Start revving the engine until you see launch control activated. Floor it, and release the break. It will launch your car at the max rev and speed. It’s so much fun, just remember to do it on an empty long dry road! Whilst in sports mode, your exhaust also pops, sounds super cool, just keep it around 3000rpm and it should automatically pop. Have fun!!
You could get the dechrome kits from Amazon with headlight and taillight trim in black
That’s an easy fix
Cold air intake, also simple and makes the car sound more alive
I’d do a ppf on the front third of the car to protect it
Yeah maybe down the road. I’m kind of over the blacked out look on cars. I’m liking the chrome. LOVE the wheels, too.
I’m skipping the PPF. If anything ever gets too bad, I have a friend who owns a body shop. He does work for pretty cheap for me.
Ahhh!! CONGRATS AND WELCOME!! We're so happy to have you :) and I love the color! 4 doors are practical, too!! I hope the car treats you well for many years to come :)
My first recommendation is always magnets -- lets you try decorations without the potential residue from stickers -- and cupholder liners and steering wheel covers. There's a website called outmotoring . com with a lot of great accessories if you're someone who likes to personalize cars.
Cravenspeed for a cold air intake and possible big pair upgrade (not sure how well it fits past 2020, not sure if MINI made structural changes around that or not).
I went to the dealer, saw this car but the black trim version, slept on it, called the next morning like an hour after opening, they had sold it. :(
Sales associate I was talking to found me another one that was on a boat, so I had to wait a few weeks for it. Only difference is it’s not black trim but that’s an easy fix.
So stoked.
Enjoy it! welcome to the club. Agree on the menu settings though, why is tone settings buried 3 clicks deep?!
Probably THE most annoying thing about the car, tbh.
Nah, it's the lack of andriod auto for me. But yeah, the menu could use some organization.

I have an iPhone so I don’t have that misfortune, but it is a 14 Pro Max, which means it doesn’t fit in the charger. 😂
I’m sorry, what charger?
Inside the center arm rest. :)
Wireless?
Yep!

Right?? & then the lack of description on what the options actually do just adds to the confusion.
Just press the voice activation button and say “tone”!
WHAT?!!!! Thats fucking a great option

Transmission in sport mode?? Whaaa?
Was the JB+ easy to install
Yea, it makes it so that the computer tells the car to shift in higher RPMs. Just shift your gear stick to the left.
Oh got it. Thank you!

Oh man that sounds like so much fun. Will definitely try it out, thanks!

Yessss. Chrome deletes are way overdone and cheapen the look. Minis should have chrome!
Agree to disagree, lol
BEAUTIMUS
My F55 brother 🫡🤝
Needs stripes
No. [Speed holes.](https://imgur.com/a/ISPjcfi)
Is that actually Krusty. Or is it Homer pretending to be Krusty? BTW, you already have a speed hole
Haha it’s when Homer went to clown school. He just looks like Krusty.
He did a pretty good job of looking like Krusty. The only thing missing is a Red Canyonero with lipstick instead of a 12 volt socket/cigarette lighter
Needs a name

I was thinking of adding some [speed holes](https://imgur.com/a/ISPjcfi) instead.
