    Safety and comfort for the youngest MINI fans: new MINI child seats.

    The new MINI child seats provide even greater safety and comfort for the very youngest fans of the brand. They are available in three versions covering the age range between 0 and 12. The models MINI Baby Seat 0+ and MINI Junior Seat 1 are each fitted with an ISOFIX attachment system, while the MINI Junior Seat 2/3 has connectors for the ISOFIX anchorage point. In all seat variants there are innovative integrated airpads to protect the child's head from lateral forces. The new MINI child seats are offered in two colour versions. The colour Vivid Green is available in addition to a modern interpretation of the traditional Union Jack motif in vintage look.


    Globally unique: increased safety when driving at night with retrofit 25-watt xenon headlamp.

    The Original MINI Accessories program includes a range of perfect ways to selectively highlight and enhance the expressive design, sporty driving properties and functionality of a MINI. MINI is now the world's first automobile manufacturer to offer a retrofit xenon headlamp with an output of 25 watts and manual height adjustment. This gives owners of a MINI, MINI Clubman, MINI Convertible, MINI Coupé and MINI Roadster a low-cost option to add a highly effective and efficient light source to their automobile at a later stage. In terms of quality, luminosity and range, the retrofit headlamps are identical to the xenon light available for MINI as a special equipment feature ex works. They also offer a much longer service life and lower energy consumption than the standard halogen lamps. Another new addition to the range of exterior accessories is the LED daytime running light, likewise designed for retrofit. An innovative solution both technologically and visually, it comes in the form of a combined fog light, side light and daytime running light in full LED.

    At what cost? Three or four time the cost of a Garmin with the exact same features.

    But Dave, it says MINI on it!

    That alone is worth the price.

    Did that too.

    But this one has MINI silkscreened on the bezel too. Easily add's $100 in value to the unit.

    But my Garmin is newer and has no bezel around the screen.

    On a side note I can not believe they are getting into the child seat game. That is risky.

    The fog lights look cool.
