APPLE CARPLAY® PREPARATION.

Apple CarPlay® Preparation is the fast and convenient way to wirelessly use your iPhone and your favourite iOS apps safely behind the wheel of your MINI. It is an in-car multimedia hub that takes the things you want to do while driving and puts them in your touchscreen display. So you can get directions, conduct phone calls, receive and send messages, and listen to music – while staying fully focused on the road. It also lets you operate Spotify and selected third party apps. You can control the main functions using your MINI’s Touchscreen controls, the MINI Controller or via Siri voice commands. And you can activate Siri on your iPhone by long-pressing the voice control button on the steering wheel.

It alerts you about accidents, traffic jams and roadworks ahead. RTTI helps you find the fastest routes and steer clear of any holdups. It keeps you updated on the traffic situation on all key roads and motorways. It calculates what delays can be expected and suggests detours so you can react in good time.

Select ‘Navigation’ in the main menu, then choose ‘Map’. Traffic conditions are displayed in colours under ‘Map views’. Green indicates no problems. Yellow is for slow traffic. Orange is for stop-and-go. Red signals stationary traffic. A yellow or red warning appears in ‘Traffic information’ the moment there is news available for a specific route. Details of the delay and possible detours are provided when clicking on ‘Traffic information'.

ASSISTANCE.

mini connected - intelligent emergency call mini connected - intelligent emergency call

INTELLIGENT EMERGENCY CALL.

If you are not able to directly call for help in an accident, it’s good to know that MINI can. With the optional, intelligent Emergency Call system, your MINI automatically sends a distress call to the locally available mobile services. A SIM card and integrated telematics unit transmit relevant data such as the exact GPS coordinates of your MINI, chassis number (VIN), type of collision (e.g. whereabouts of impact), status of airbags and seatbelts, number of passengers and direction of travel. Specially trained personnel will then establish contact with you, inform the appropriate emergency services so that help can reach the scene as fast possible. They will give you support by telephone – in your own language wherever possible. This function can also be activated manually.

MINI TELESERVICES.

So you can interact with your MINI with your voice – and interrupt it if you wish. You can even ask it to do things like: "show me the fastest way home." It’s the perfect way to control many of your phone’s functions so you can keep your hands on the wheel and eyes safely on the road.

The MINI Wireless Charging tray, located in the centre armrest, lets you securely store and safely charge any QI-enabled smartphone as you drive – while keeping your cockpit cable-free. As soon as you place your phone in the charging station, your battery automatically gets a top up. Once docked, an LED light will indicate that your phone is connected and charging. The charging tray also enables your phone to obtain the best possible network reception, as it connects your phone via inductive coupling to the external aerial. Please check with your authorised MINI dealer for compatibility details. Please also be aware that this charging tray should only be installed by a trained technician at a specialist workshop. Your local MINI Centre will be able to assist with the installation.

USB INTERFACE(S).

The USB connection at the base of the central console is effectively an auxiliary input (and charger) that enables you to directly control and play music players, files on memory sticks and smartphones. Connecting devices to the USB interface is simple and straightforward – depending on the equipment – and can be carried out using your original USB cables or a MINI cable adapter available as an accessory.

The Connected Navigation Plus package provides two USB ports/interfaces next to each other in the centre console: a Type A/1.5A and a Type C port with 3A for extra fast charging of mobile devices, enabling you to use and charge two smartphones (or other devices) at the same time.
