Is it impossible to replace the F56 base head unit with an aftermarket head unit? After weeks of searching I have found zero people that have done it, and no mounting kits for sale anywhere. I even found one guy who installed an aftermarket head unit in the tiny top glove box on the passenger side, just so he didn't have to remove the factory base head unit.
I have a few theories as to why this is never attempted.
1. Maybe the space inside the light ring is too small for any aftermarket unit.
2. Maybe the stereo does something super important, and the car cannot function without it.
3. Maybe it looks so incredibly amazing that no one is willing to remove it.
I have seen many people install $3000+ aftermarket stereo systems into their f56 mini, but they all keep the factory head unit. What magical thing does this factory head unit do that no one can live without it?
I do not own an f56 mini yet, i am about to buy one. I want to build a really killer sound system in it. I am going to spend at least $2500 on the sound system. I really don't want the factory head unit.
Thanks in advance for any help or info.
