Mini Connected Review | Autoblog

[@B_Kappel]

Good amount of information! Its a bit intense that this is the future of the HMI for vehicles but nice to see its getting as polished as possible.

[@therealautoblog]

You need the Connection option to connect an iPhone/Android Device to the system over either Bluetooth or USB to take phone calls, stream Internet radio stations, play locally-stored music or listen to Pandora. We thing this is a pretty compelling package, but pricy!

Is the old app downloadable as the new one does not work on older Mini's?

[@jiemerunmusic]

Is it possible to do an update of firmware for a Mini countryman SD 2013 ? I don’t found this info in the net.

[@x1pyroveride]

im glad i seen this, i dont like the way it works, id rather a touch screen. ill just get the regular radio and get a single din screen when i go to order it.

[@ciganito111]

How did you get the gps function my 2010 does not show it do I need to update my software?

[@lunarcontact]

thanks Damon, great overview, very helpful.

[@brendaescobar6840]

Really nice review, thank you!

[@therealautoblog]

Pretty sure it's a standard Y cble to the USB and 3.5mm jack in the centre console.

[@Eljoselo17]

I would like to know if it is compatible with a mii R56 year 2011

Dear Mini Cooper, there's a car called a Tesla that uses a huge 17" touch screen: ehem, just wanted to let you know. Cheers. Ps: I love you.

[@questionabletaste2700]

Its a 2011 video dude..

[@a123456789061]

Where can you see the engine temperature?

[@highofftealeaves]

David Reyes i’m going to guess on the screen on the tachometer above the steering wheel.

How do you connect via bluetooth to your mini connected?

[@georginachallinor7488]

i have a 2009 mini cooper d, I've seen numerous amount of videos of people installing their original radio systems to then install the newer lcd screens and navigation systems? i was really interested in doing this but i am not sure in where i can purchase the lcd system in which my dad could then install it as if you go direct to mini it is rather expensive? I've seen like 2006 models with these installed so surely my model must be compatible to? Does anyone have any advice or recommend anywhere i could get this from? Thanks.

[@balwinda1]

great review....does anyone know if the mini connected feature is available for all the mini's with the built in sat nav DVD feature or is it only after certain models? also mine says DVD read error does this require just a simple replacement of the disc? and how much are they? thanks

[@mobius129]

Why would you want to view twitter feeds on your car if you receive them on your phone first? Leading to the question why should you be looking at twitter when you are going 60-80 on the highway?

[@andreamarroquin8744]

How do you fix a joystick got wet?

[@nasirahmad4743]

[@MrE30ftw]

[@victorbesil3631]

What's the name of the cable u need anyone?

[@RayTitske]

why no softtouch butons

[@Philippe1613]

$2,500.00 distraction! An iPhone, well apped will provide most of what this system seems to provide and I already know how to use my phone. $300 cables...come on! My iPhone doesn't cost that.

[@theaveragejoebody]

Now the phone is the worst distraction possible

[@elarachel]

my mini cooper 2014 convertible doesn't have navigation icon, help!

[@thepreme123]

I find it really funny listening to his ermmm ermmm urrhhmmm ummmm urrmm hahahahahahahaha LOL

[@Flapjack500]

UHMMM good review UHMMM I now know that UHMMM I UHMMM don't want UHMMM MINI Connected UHMMMMMMMMMMM Thanks

[@neil1482]

Pretty trick.

[@apersonofinterest]

This system looks cheap and plastic-ey. The area where the controls are looks like it would collect lots of gunk and if you spill a drink, the liquid would fill up the litte impression where the buttons are. And listen to that cheap click noise. What a piece of junk.

[@oremalaolu3]

it think mini connected should be touchscreen, cos it would easier to use

[@pulixpulix2420]

2019, BMW stiil didn't find a way to integrate Android. Maybe in 2029, they will make it

[@nkmcfrln]

@aseelaki You think the MINI Countryman is gay because you're gay. Otherwise you wouldn't have a problem with it. Go and listen to some of your manly Chris Brown music. Test Patrick Snijers Mini John Cooper Works S2000 Rally 1.6T

[@iqbal55]

MOLE!
