MINI R-Series AirPods & USB-C Charging Compartment

Modern Charging for an R-Series Interior

The MINI Cooper R-Series was built before wireless charging, USB-C, and AirPods existed. This compartment brings all three into the cabin without touching the factory dashboard or wiring permanently.

It adds a dedicated AirPods storage and charging slot alongside a standard USB and fast-charge USB-C port — tucked into the interior in a way that reads as part of the car, not bolted onto it.

AirPods Slot + Two Charging Ports

The compartment includes a dedicated slot sized for AirPods Gen 2, Gen 3, and AirPods Pro — keeps them charged, accessible, and not sliding around the center console.

Two additional ports sit alongside: a standard USB for legacy cables and a fast-charge USB-C for everything current. Both ports are powered and ready to use without wiring modifications.

Factory-Look Interior Fit

The compartment is designed specifically for the Gen 2 R-Series interior geometry. It fits without drilling, cutting, or permanent modification — and finishes flush enough that it doesn't look like an afterthought inside the cabin.

Developed for Gen 2 MINI Owners Who Use Modern Devices

The R-Series interior was designed in the mid-2000s. It has character, tight packaging, and almost no provision for the way most people use their phones, earbuds, and devices today. This charging compartment was developed to close that gap — adding AirPods storage and dual-port charging without permanently modifying the factory interior.
