Integration with factory controls enables convenient operation of the changer from the radio panel, without the need for additional switches or adapters.

Functionality of the 6-disc changer

The 6-disc changer will work well both for standard repairs of the factory audio system and for the interior restoration of a Mini Cooper R50/R53 while maintaining original equipment. Choosing an original component allows you to avoid fitment issues and maintain the stylistic consistency of the cockpit.
