Fitting an Additional Chip Tuning Control Unit

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Accessory kit

To improve the performance of the diesel engine, you can install this control unit. You will need to obtain the kit for the specific vehicle. Remove the air filter cover and the related intake pipe. Disconnect the connector from the installed control unit, and after connecting the new additional accessory to the supplied cable, connect one end of this Y-cable to the vehicle's control unit connector and the other end to the connector that was connected to the installed control unit. Essentially, the kit is connected in series with the cable that powers the vehicle's control unit. Position the new control unit in a suitable location and secure it with plastic ties. The kit requires a power supply, so connect the negative wire with a terminal to a screw on the chassis and the positive wire to a switched fuse.
