MINI Connected

MINI Connected constitutes the integration of a mobile terminal device in the systems of the vehicle by using an appropriate application (App). The functions of the application are displayed on the Central Information Display in the vehicle. Operation takes place using the MINI joystick.

Certain system requirements must be met in order to use MINI Connected. Optional equipment 6NM (MINI Connected) must be available in the vehicle. The customer also requires an appropriate terminal device (only iPhone possible at present) with a suitable mobile radio contract (broadband data connection). The scope of functionality of terminal devices without a mobile radio connection (only iPod Touch at present) is restricted.

NOTE: A broadband data connection is needed in order to use all of the functionality of MINI Connected. The costs that are incurred (e.g. data roaming) are a constituent of the customer contract with the terminal device service provider. The application is available free of charge via the respective terminal device provider portal (e.g. Apple™ AppStore for iPhone and iPod Touch). The country-specific requirements and prerequisites must be observed when doing this.

The requirements for the terminal device and its software can be found in the MINI compatibility matrix for mobile terminal devices.
