Hi
New member here. Just bought a 2013 mini countryman. 
I hate the radio/ media setup. Does anyone know if the new multimedia setups in the new minis will retrofit into mine? Or if not recommend a stable system with touchscreen etc to fit in instead.
Thanks for reading
John

If it's using the same BMW NBT/CIC systems then you should be able to upgrade it to an NBT Evo iDrive 6.

The alternative is to put one of the android systems in.

I went the expensive genuine route for my 3-series as I wanted to keep it OEM.

Thanks Tony. Mines a 2013 so dosent quite fit in with those. But that's definitely what I'm looking for.

Hi, I’ve just today had a kit from https://carplaymedia.co.uk/ fitted to my X1 it can be either Apple or Android and doesn’t interfere with any of the car’s existing functions.  There are kits listed for Mini.  They’re not cheap but they are good, as is the firms back up and knowledge.  
My other car is an ambulance
