The construction is optimized for rigidity and proper guidance of the mounting elements.

This solution allows for:

• stable mounting of the CD changer in its factory location,
• maintaining the correct position of the device relative to the dashboard panel,
• easier disassembly and reassembly during servicing or audio equipment replacement.

Benefits of Using an Original Mini Bracket

Key advantages include:

• factory fit for the MINI Cooper R55/R56/R57 LCI dashboard,
• no need for adapters or mounting modifications,
• preservation of the cockpit's original appearance and ergonomics.

Condition and Service Application

This item comes from the used Mini parts circulation, making it an attractive solution for accident repairs, interior reconstruction, or completing missing elements after audio equipment removal. The bracket is suitable for both professional workshops and garages specializing in MINI models, where compliance with factory specifications and repeatable installation are crucial.
