Also, the usb extension cable will not charge the phone. (This is all based on my experience in my 2016 F54; if yours turns out differently, please post how you did it.) **Q: Hello. i just installed this in my 2016 mini cooper. it will show the carplay screen but the audio doesn’t switch it still stays in the radio** A: I installed it on my 2017 Clubman and you have to go back to the original screen and then select or use the phone connected via Blue Tooth to MINI so you can listen to your music from your phone. I figured that out while I was at the place that installed it and I thought it was defective but it’s not. Otherwise I really like the system **Q: Tienes el compatible con sistema evo? (mini jcw cabrio 2019)** A: Hi, could you contact us and send us pictures of the dashboard and main menu screen? Thank you so much. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by V***A on 21 December 2025* Saved me from buying a new car with CarPlay! ### ⭐ Review *by F***O on 25 October 2023* tiene muchos defectos la interfase, no funciona con cámara de reversa, no funciona "oyeSiri" no se reproduce audio de la aplicación Waze, se escucha mas bajo el audio de la aplicación nativa del auto ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by O***A on 27 September 2022* Update Just wanted to offer an update to my almost 1 year experience with the Road Top box I installed in both my Mini F57 and Mini F54. Originally I pointed out that that this product works very well as long as it's character flaws are understood. Well, working through character flaws/design limitations/bugs is defined by the level of customer service a company offers to manage such issues. The level of complexity that electronics and the software that runs atop those electronics inevitably brings along bugs. Software is all about maturity through iteration and not perfection out of the gate- this is especially true for consumer electronics that are built to a cost. Therefore an interface like the Roadtop Carplay/AA box, where you're dealing with complicated interoperability can live or die based on long-term support IMO. And I'm happy to say that despite a few issues, the team at Roadtop (specifically Sarah) have provided STELLAR/FANTASTIC/ PEARLESS after sales customer support. They (Sarah) never once ignored my inquiries or failed to provide a fix or answer to the many post dales questions I asked. Here are some issues that Sarah and team helped me manage through over the past year regarding how the RT box interfaced with my Mini NBT/NBT Evo head units. - New software to improve overly aggressive transition form MIni UI to CP/AA. - Hand-holding me through some of my ignorance about how the interface operates and it's limitations. - helping me through physically reversing the Left and Right Audio AUX pins for my Clubman install (turned out that BMW/Mini did not properly document which of the two Aux pin on the Quadlock connection was R/L, so my F54 Clubman had a channel swap issue, whereas the same year F57 Cooper did not. They also provided me a new harness at a discounted cost when I messed up the pin swap on the original RT harness. - worked with me to clear up the fact that I could not swap the LVDS cables (as mentioned in my original review it caused blank video) Sent me a replacement USB/Video interface cable, when I thought that the original cable maybe faulty (turned out the connector into the RT box wasn't fully seated due to the tricky CLuman install I mentioned in my original review). - And most recently (like yesterday) they provided a software patch to the MCU that fixed a bug where Bimmercode failed to communicate or allow parameter changes to various ECUs, including the headunit and Amplifier. This particular bug has been widely discussed on various BMW forums over th epast couple of years and Even my inquiry to Bimmer Tech respective to whether it was an issue with their relabeled "MMI" version of this box (I'm pretty sure RT, BimmerTech and Adream all use the same basic platform, but unsure if there is any unique features that separate them). In summary, it's been a great experience. Many thanks to Sarah and the team at Roadtop for making the $600 I sent on their product well worth it both from a CS and long-term improvement to my beloved Minis! Purchased this product twice, once for my spouses 2016 Mini Cooper F57 "Justa" convertible with the base 6-inch NBT system and then again for my 2016 Clubman F54S with the upgraded 8-inch NBT EVO Harman Kardon Stereo system. The most complicated part of installation was finding a place for the Roadtop box. As others have done, I located the back box over the glovebox in the F57 and behind the HVAC controls in the F54. The F54 was by far the most challenging given it barely fit in a diagonal area that had barely enough clearance with the bottom edge of the NBT system. Wire management was OK and I located the BT/Wi-Fi antenna under the empty center speaker location in the F57 and on the metal cross-brace just above the NBT EVO unit in the 54. Make sure you are certain of where you want to place the antenna before setting it, because once it sticks it isn't coming off. One of the reasons for installing the roadtop unit in my spouses F57 was to also install a back-up camera. I purchased the Natika camera and because Minis (i.e. BMW) interiors area assembled like a complex puzzle, I had to rip out the backseat, trunk trim and rear seat trim. of the F57 to run the cable along the passenger door sill and up into the area behind the glovebox. It was time intensive but satisfying and the little mini's interior went back together as tight as it was prior to tear down. You just need to take your time and think about how the puzzle comes apart and goes back together. It took me about 6 hours all together taking my time across to mornings. The F54 also took some time, but not because of having to take stuff apart. It was due to a bad assumption on my part. Given the challenging placement of the roadtop box and connector configuration, I decided to take the longer roadtop supplied LVDS cable and run it from the headunit to the roadtop box and take the shorter BMW cable and use it between the roadtop box and screen. I didn't for a moment think the pin-outs were different. This resulted in no video to the display and after a day of believing that the roadtop box was faulty, I thought, well maybe the cables are different. And they were. swapped them back and viola, everything worked. After using the systems for almost 3 months I have to say that I am very pleased with the results- especially in my F54 with the 8-inch screen. I also find that the Android Auto (via Samsung Note 20 Ultra in my set-up) seems to be less finicky than Carplay (via iPhone XR in my wife's set-up), especially when your using wireless connections. It could be that my wife's XR is a little too old for the latest carplay version, but unless you specifically turn off the phone's Wi-Fi and BT you'll find the video going black if you are connected via cable. By comparison my Samsung/AA set-up is much more reliable and has never dropped out. It can also be quite irritating if both the Samsung and Apple phones are in the same car, as they both end up fighting for dominance over wireless. So I either use my phone in my wife's car, or disable my wireless connections and use my wife's iPhone. The other annoyance is how aggressive the Roadtop box is about taking over the NBT system. If I try to exit into iDrive to, say, check tire pressures or change a car setting, the Roadtop box will interrupt and pull the NBT system back under its control. SO it takes a few cycles to finally get the roadtop box to "let go". But with the exception of those easily worked around issues. I have to say the roadtop box works very well and in fact fixes the Mini's "backward" rotary knob control. And Sarah (Roadtop Technical support) was excellent and replied within 12 hours (I believe she is located in China). So very much recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Road Top Wireless Carplay Android Auto for BMW Mini Cooper One Hatch Clubman F55 F56 F54 F57 NBT System 2014-2018 Year, Support Mirrorlink, Reverse Camera, Navigation - NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera,IP69K Waterproof Great Night Vision HD and Super Wide Angle Metal OEM Style Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Cars Pickup Trucks SUVs RVs Vans (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/644837107-road-top-wireless-carplay-android-auto-for-bmw-mini-cooper](https://www.desertcart.at/products/644837107-road-top-wireless-carplay-android-auto-for-bmw-mini-cooper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
