Characteristics and purpose of the mirror

This Mini Cooper R55 R56 LCI interior rearview mirror is designed for in-cabin installation. It's designed to precisely fit the Mini's headliner and mounting bracket, making it easy to replace a damaged or malfunctioning component without the need for modifications.

This component is sourced from the original Mini equipment, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle's factory systems, including the electrical system and on-board electronics. It's a solution for users who want to restore full interior functionality while avoiding the compromises typical of aftermarket parts.

Features: EC, compass and 868 MHz radio integration

The mirror is equipped with a set of functions that increase the comfort of everyday use:

• EC (electrochromatic) – automatic darkening of the mirror surface in response to the lights of vehicles behind, which reduces glare and improves night driving safety.
• Built-in compass – presentation of the direction of travel in the driver's field of view, which provides practical support when traveling, especially outside urban areas.
• Integration with the 868 MHz radio system – the mirror works with vehicle systems using the 868 MHz band (e.g. selected comfort functions or communication with body modules), ensuring consistency with the factory electronic architecture of the Mini.

This combination of functions makes the mirror not only a safety element, but also a practical information and communication module in the car interior.

Original origin and used condition

The mirror offered is an original Mini component, sourced from a disassembly. Used condition means the item may show signs of wear typical of vehicle-installed parts, while maintaining full functionality. For many users, this represents a reasonable compromise between cost and factory quality and compatibility.

Choosing a used OEM mirror allows you to:

• maintain a consistent interior appearance with other furnishings,
• maintain proper cooperation with the vehicle electronics,
• reduce the risk of assembly problems typical of low-quality substitutes.

Benefits of installing an original Mini mirror

Installing the Mini Cooper R55 R56 LCI EC interior rear-view mirror / compass / 868 MHz radio is a solution aimed at users who expect:

• factory fit – compatibility with the mounting bracket, glass and headliner geometry and Mini interior design,
• efficient integration with vehicle systems – cooperation with the electrical installation, comfort and radio modules,
• increased driving comfort – thanks to automatic dimming and clear indication of the direction of travel.

A mirror configured in this way allows you to restore full functionality of the cabin after damage to the original element or is a reasonable replacement in the event of problems with the electronics in the previously installed module.

Selection and other Mini rearview mirrors

When selecting a mirror, it's important to consider compatibility with the vehicle's body style, model year, and equipment to ensure proper operation with EC systems, compass, and 868 MHz radios. If necessary, compare the bracket shape, connector type, and functional features with the currently installed component.
