The Definitive Classic Mini Audio Upgrade: Period Aesthetics Meets Modern Connectivity

The Classic Mini—from the early 1970s Mark III through to the final Rover Minis of 2000—is one of the most engaging, responsive cars ever produced. However, bringing modern DAB clarity, hands-free voice assistance, and navigation into the minimalist Mini cockpit has historically required some painful trade-offs, until the Reluxe Stereo eliminates every single one of those compromises.

Engineered specifically for classic vehicle architecture, the Reluxe Stereo brings wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB+ radio, and Bluetooth 5.0 into your Mini while maintaining complete visual harmony with Alec Issigonis’s original interior vision.

Stealth Tech via Smart Cover: Utilizing a magnetic NFC Smart Cover (available in matching dashboard materials), the modern LED screen vanishes when parked or cruising, preserving your Mini's OEM cockpit look.
Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto: Instant, cable-free connection for maps, Spotify, Apple Music, and messaging the moment you turn the key.
Crystal-Clear Audio Performance: Drive over road noise with confidence. High-fidelity internal amplification delivers punchy, articulate sound even at highway speeds.

Preserve the Icon. Upgrade the Journey.

Fitting an aftermarket stereo into a classic Mini often presents two major technical hurdles: aperture size and rear depth clearance. The Reluxe Stereo solves both out of the box.

No Aperture Enlarging Required: Fits cleanly into standard 1-DIN openings across 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and late-model Rover Minis without filing, cutting, or altering original dashboard paneling.

Shallow-Depth Chassis Architecture: Behind the Mini’s center console or drop-down dash panel, wiring looms and heater ducts leave minimal space. The Reluxe Stereo features an ultra-compact chassis depth, leaving ample rear clearance for easy, unforced wiring management.

12V Negative Earth Ready: Fully compatible with standard Mini electrical systems for seamless, plug-and-play installation.
