Plain-Talk™ - a low cost, integrated Bluetooth phone solution for Mini.

Plain-Talk™ is a simple, convenient, inexpensive way to add Bluetooth cell phone technology to your Mini. This unit utilizes your vehicles built in telephone wiring and capabilities, including using your steering wheel controls. Installation and operation is straight forward. No cutting or splicing of any wiring is required. Simply plug into the telephone connectors that are already in your car.

Built upon the stable and reliable Parrot Bluetooth® products, the Plain-Talk™ system offers superior sound quality and functionality while reducing in-cabin clutter and making the installation easier. The Plain-Talk™ system is based on our OEM bluetooth system. The Plain-Talk does not show caller-id information, phonebook or use car's built in keypad for dialing - but it does use the steering wheel controls, incorporates voice control, and will interupt music playing so the call can be heard over the car's built in speakers.

Mini Bluetooth

iTronic™ BT is a fully integrated, "same as factory installed" Bluetooth phone solution for Mini.

The iTronic™ BT handsfree Bluetooth phone solution works just like a Mini factory installed phone system. It includes full caller-id display and phonebook use1 in the car's built in radio and instrument cluster displays. The iTronic™ BT kit is a solution that allows you to use any brand phone and allows you to choose any carrier you desire. In addition, it allows you to simply get into the car with the phone in your pocket, purse, or briefcase. When you start your car, the car will automatically connect wirelessly to your phone. It is the only certified aftermarket bluetooth phone system for your Mini. Full integration means, using radio or steering wheel controls to dial, accept/reject calls, browse the cell phone's directory, voice dialing, etc1. In short, it is designed to work just like a factory installed system would. The unit simply plugs into the network connection that is under the cd changer in some cars or behind/below the glovebox in other models. Installation is straight forward and simple. It does not require any cutting or modification of the car at all, therefore does not void any manufacturers warranty. The unit is also completely hidden after installation. No unsightly boxes or displays, just like a factory installed system. Many people ask if the car needs to be pre-wired for a phone system...the answer is NO!!! With or without phone pre-wiring, the system will activate all the original factory phone functions intended for your car.

Video in motion & backup cameras

Do you have children? You know that we all worry about them playing around vehicles. The largest single cause of injury and death of children in non-traffic accidents, is being backed over by a car. More than many other types of injury combined. Children being the most important avoidance, many many more cars are damaged by low lying, unseen objects behind your vehicle (curbs, posts, toys, etc etc).

CarTronics VIM/BC is a fully integrated video in motion and backup camera system for Mini.

Our VIM/BC (video in motion / backup camera) solution will provide video input and audio input to your Mini's built in screen. Once installed, you will be able to play videos from three different sources on your screen. Typically one of the inputs is used for a backup camera. The other two inputs can be used for sources such as an iPod video output, DVD player, PMP, etc. You can switch between them with the included remote control. If connected to your reverse system in the car, the video will automatically switch to the backup camera input, when you put your car in reverse.

THIS IS A PACKAGE SYSTEM. IT INCLUDES YOUR CHOICE OF BACKUP CAMERA STYLE BELOW. DO NOT ADD THE CAMERA WHEN PURCHASING IT IS ALREADY INCLUDED.

Should you choose not install it yourself, CarTronics offers a service to find a qualified installer for you. We offer this service to any customer that has already purchased a unit. *Because of the time and research involved, we do not offer this service before a purchase is made.
