I take apart a 2007 Mini Cooper S and remove it's speedometer/stereo. I also show some info about installing an amp under the passenger seat.

Nope, I figured most of this out on my own. I figured that not very many people knew how to do this properly, so that's why I made the video.

Oh and also, these instructions apply to R56 MINIs, so any 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010+ model.

@t3hsniper you can remove it :L trees a Chrono pack which replaces the ugly shit with a fuel, oil and oil pressure gauges (I think) and the speedo and rev meter are behind the wheel (:

@MrWonChong awesome thanks

Just as an update, you can use a bent "icepick" to remove the panels instead of a screwdriver covered with tape. It makes it very easy to pop the panels off! I've also been told that on 2010+ models there are an additional two screws you have to look out for!

@valon212 You do. There isn't enough room behind the tachometer to pull the back panel off.

Do you have to remove the rpm meter to remove the dash panel behind the steering wheel? please answer:)

thanks for the video but another video bout putting all in would be helpful it's been two years since this video though

Had to do some interior disassembly, these two videos were helpful. Sorry about the circumstances, but I really appreciate the video; saved me from several mistakes.

@t3hsniper Totally agree. I wonder if there are any companies that make an aftermarket cd player/gps/whatever to replace that thing.

I would love to get a mini, but I don't think I'd ever get over that hideous speedometer.
