Hello everyone.
For F56 owners from 2014 to 2017: has anyone considered upgrading the passenger side dash trim to the union jack (with LED lighting)?
I thought of this possibility, but I can't find the part code to search the internet.
Has anyone done the adaptation? Does anyone know the code of the parts that are required?
Tks

I Don't know, but it is possible, use the wires from your led in the mini, or the wires from the led ring.
In the 2019 mini, it's installed from the led ring.
I will look a littlebit further how to wire this thing [emoji106]

Hello everyone.
Apologies for the long downtime. I bought the part 51456819876, but soon after I decided to sell the JCW 2017 and buy a brand new 2020. Before selling the JCW 2017, I disassembled the glove compartment and noticed that it would be possible to install it, just pull the LED wires that illuminate the feet. Hope this helps.

I sincerely think that the 2017 model (pop & bang YES) is better than the 2020 model (pop & bang NO) at least in €uropa

I had fitted the part to the panel of my previous car (JCW 2017). The fit is perfect, plug and play. I didn't the electrical connection, because I decided to buy a JCW 2020 soon afterwards, which already has the union jack led, but I realized that the wires can be connected from the foot illumination, under the panel, on the right side.

The BMW part code for black dash is 6819876-02, as you can see from the attached photo.

yes I did. Many thanks to Sarath the guy who replied #12. Told me to just buy the part and connect it through the footwell.

When I bought the part it should've come with 4pin repair kit in order to connect it to the module LED that already come with the dash. So right now I'm waiting for that repair kit.


since your car is 2020, I believe the connectors is already there behind the dash

Hello

I am also interested in fitting the part, but I need a part number for the UK (RHD) specific vehicle.

So a small update i took mine to a MINI dealer two hours from me and they were extremely helpful. They said my wiring harness was the same as one with the dash piece in it. They charged me $70 to go in to look if the wires were there and they were. They installed the piece and now the only downside is the lights aren’t on. They need to be coded for activation and the dealership I guess doesn’t have the line code for that so they have to wait for a update from MINI/BMW. Hoping I can find the line code sooner than later. So the 2019’s and up have the wires in the back.

sorry should explain better mate, obviously there is the trim piece behin the dash as well, won’t these need to be matching ? also do you have a pic of the plug behind the glove box, mines a 2016 so I doubt it’s going to be there so might have to try retrofitting the wires

There is 3 cables that have 4 wires each
I think you should be able to take feed from footwell lightings it has 5 wires but the other 4 match the colours for the Union Jack plugs
Will need to wait till it gets delivered but have stripped it out awaiting the panel
