The KWBMW10 installaon kit allows for the retenon of the vehicle’s steering wheel controls and maintains
the original aesthec of the interior when installing a new car stereo. The KWBMW10 gives you everything you
need for a complete install in one box. The components of this kit are compable for the BMW Mini (F55/F56)
(2013-2016) with non-navigaonal factory stereos. The wiring harness and Infodapter interface will retain the
steering wheel controls, factory phone buons and vehicle sengs. It also aids in generang parking sensor
graphics for the new stereo as well as providing an input for a reverse camera (if applicable).
Supplied with a Quadlock connector.
