Guide to Fitting a Smartphone Holder on a Mini with an Analog Speedometer

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

In this video, we will see how to fit a smartphone holder on a vehicle with an analog speedometer. We couldn't find the exact model of holder, but a very similar one, from mokingda.com, with code C162-A004-B, priced at £12.79 with free delivery. You need to unscrew the two screws at the base of the speedometer with a 20 mm Torx screwdriver. The space is tight and the job is not very easy. Then you can remove the speedometer by disconnecting the plug. You will need to unscrew the two screws on the right side of the speedometer, as we will need to place spacers to support the bracket, which we will then secure with the screws from the kit. Now reassemble the speedometer. Now attach the phone holder to the bracket, secure it with its butterfly, and the job is done.
