Awesome video! Although not specifically a MINI app, Waze is epic for road trips. Especially for those in eastern North America as its used more so more helpful.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Great add! Waze is a stellar app!

[@melissamobberley2086]

That would be great about ap, just bought myself a adapter xx

[@TuX0r]

Yes, please make a Bimmer Link video.

[@scottab36]

Yes!! You can turn off Auto start-stop.

[@robo6548]

It’s not just the GP3 , my exact Cooper S used to be rendered in 3D in the app, but now no longer is, they changed the app.

[@964cuplove]

Are those standard mirror caps of a GP3 ? They look like the electric mini mirrors….

[@tm5346]

Great video

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks!

[@chetdelcampo]

Thank you for being cool & helpful. Just got a 2022 CM Oxford and much digging it!, a few gripes aside... (what's up with the steering wheel / column "actually physically /tilting -not turned- Left" !? ...it's in ours AND the other CM's I test drove !?)

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks for watching! What do you mean by the tilting steering wheel? I'm not sure I understand...

[@chetdelcampo]

@@TheMINIVlog It's surprising to me more folks don't notice. or talk about it. It's honestly bugging my driving enjoyment factor since realizing it. You can check it out on the forum here where I posted... www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/f60-countryman-talk-2016/356138-steering-wheel-whole-column-tilts-to-left.html ...There's a diagram in post #10 that makes it more clear.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Hmm I don't think I've ever noticed that

[@michaelm5537]

Hi. Stop start can be coded out with BimmerCode but it keeps the warning led on the toggle switch inside the car. I think it’s worth it.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks! I did it with my jcw before this but I want to prove it works with the gp as well. Appreciate your confirmation it works!!

[@johndej]

Put me down as a yes, I would like to learn more about Bimmer Link.

[@TheMINIVlog]

I'll work on that video soon!

[@jeffmadiro2470]

Bimmer Link stuff. Would like to see some video content about. Thanks!

[@TheMINIVlog]

I'll learn as much as I can about it and share a video on it soon!

[@bigjase911]

I don't miss living up north. Is there a BT ODB2 you recommend?

[@TheMINIVlog]

I use the ones suggested on the bimmercode site and they all have been great. This is the one in using currently www.amazon.com/dp/B08NFLL3NT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@adcampo7601]

Hey, thanks for the video. I can't seem to find the menu option in bimmercode to turn off the legal disclaimer. I have a 2022 JCW convertible.

[@TheMINIVlog]

hmmmmm. Do you have the paid or free version?

[@adcampo7601]

I just checked, full version.

[@simon_sjw9973]

Yeah to bimmerlink would be good, I already got bimmercode ✊🇬🇧👍

[@TheMINIVlog]

Thanks for watching! I'll work on a bimmerlink video!

[@ralvespr]

Hi please which one can be used for adding a service / maintenance on mini?

[@TheMINIVlog]

The new MINI app can be used for service scheduling!

[@nicholasbabeaux2052]

Thanks for the video, just a heads up your volume would get super loud sometimes and I listen to a video on my Harman Kardon speakers on my f56 and it kind of hurt my ears a little bit LOL

[@TheMINIVlog]

thanks. i will look into making it a more even sound.

[@KCnLex]

Though I am not sure I want it, mine has ways to add Amazon Alexa. What is frustrating is that they only have Apple play. It is not as if Mini owners only use Apple so what gives with that? I wish they had one that you could integrate with navigation. I have been taking lots of back road type trips and even when I select alternative road, it wants to take me to the quickest way to reach my destination. Yesterday I just left it on map & turned it off as I grew weary of it telling me to make a U turn!

[@TheMINIVlog]

Yeah I hear ya on only having apple car play. 🤞 Android auto is coming soon

[@marlocarlo1219]

Hello, just wondering what kind of ob2 wireless connecter do u use?

[@mrraps101]

Which engine oil for 19 f57 convertible jcw?

[@Azorthefirst]

basically any full synthetic that meets regulatory standards. 0w-20 is the OEM but most mechanics i know recommend a good 5w-30 after the break in period. Personally I use Royal Purple 5w-30 in my 2019 JCW F56

[@gtsin]

What is the cheapest adapter that works well with the bimmercode?

[@TheMINIVlog]

This one has been really reliable and has not given any fuss when I try to connect it www.amazon.com/dp/B08NFLL3NT/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_TZYEH4ZRX9R1F87PYD0P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[@gtsin]

@@TheMINIVlog maybe you tried something cheaper? I will need it to use 2-3times so long connection time is not a problem

[@TheMINIVlog]

This one is cheaper and works. www.amazon.com/dp/B06XGB4873/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_TKW89RVRYWSHFT9QBQ8S?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[@jonathanhanken5334]

The Roadside Assistance App. I don't find it on the Play Store for Android. Any insights?

[@TheMINIVlog]

It appears to have been shut down unfortunately 😣

[@jonathanhanken5334]

@@TheMINIVlog thx for quik reply

[@TheMINIVlog]

Sure thing! Sorry it wasn't a better answer 😕

[@RawGreySun]

Where to get your Mini t shirts??

[@TheMINIVlog]

I design some of them myself! theminivlog.com/store

[@RawGreySun]

@@TheMINIVlog need some that are not GP only.

[@TheMINIVlog]

Not all my designs are gp! What are you looking for?

[@chriscox1547]

Bimmer code link.more please.

[@johnchiu7423]

Good job can I download Waze or google maps apps into my countryman please reply tks

[@TheMINIVlog]

If you have an iphone you could go with apple car play to use those. If you are an Android user like myself, we are currently out of luck 😕

[@ap3stax]

@@TheMINIVlog I too am team Galaxy 😁 Do we now have a valid retro fit android auto for gen 3?

[@TheMINIVlog]

I've seen different ways to get it but none of them seem great and one involved swapping out your infotainment system. There are rumors on the horizon that Android Auto is coming in the near future so maybe just wait a little while longer and see?

[@wolfmiodrag]

MINI Sharing app.

[@TheMINIVlog]

I haven't heard of that one. Got a link to it?

Then all you need is for someone to hack the app. I'll take a zero.
