BMW Mini Cabriolet gets a fresh new stereo

The request from this BMW Mini owner was to replace the factory CD player with a touch screen DVD system. The only issue we faced was the dashboard of the Mini overhangs the radio location quite a bit, so the only option for a screen was the latest Kenwood unit, a KVT-627DVD. We used this model as it has a motorised mechanism called the ‘Z-mech’ which is basically how it motorises out of it’s housing. This mechanism allows the screen to fully motorise out before it flips up and then it can slide further out or in depending on the dashboard layout. If we used any other screen on this car the viewing angle would have been terrible and not fulfilled the customers requirements.

Testimonials

Just want to say a massive thanks to all the lads at source for doing a perfect job of my stereo, sub and amp. I couldn’t be happier with how it looks and sounds. The costomer service was second to none. Next step for me is to upgrade all the door speakers so I’ll definitely be paying you another visit. Thanks again lads. Jamie (mk5 golf gti)

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to you guys at Source, especially Chris and Paul who over the past few weeks have impressed me no end. I went to them with a typically sub-standard BMW sound system, not really knowing how it should be improved and had a really friendly informal chat with Chris about the best route to take. What has impressed me most is that never at any point are the people here pushy – they really listen to your requirements and budget and make honest suggestions and give a number of options. Chris and Paul both spoke in some detail about what the issues were and how the problems could be addressed and I felt I was in safe, honest hands throughout the upgrade process. A whole new set of 3 way speaker set up and a new amp later the car sounds crystal clear like never before. Not wanting to change the head unit, the guys had solutions as to how to keep the car looking as factory as possible, and even asked me back in so they could check how the system has bedded in. Old components are carefully removed, allowing you to have them replaced should the car ever be sold. Their installation couldn’t be faulted and their customer service is genuinely excellent – polite, highly knowledgeable and above all honest, with their customer’s best interests at heart. I have no reservations in fully recommending them and have no doubt I will be back in future. Thanks again gents !! Jason
