Description
Take the plunge into the revolutionary realm of in-car infotainment. MINI Connected embodies a unique symbiosis of driver, MINI and the online world.
A MINI specially equipped with "MINI Connected" opens the gates to a completely new world. Simply plug in your iPhone to the USB port of your MINI and, with the aid of the MINI joystick, the high-definition display and the vehicle's sound system, you will experience the various functions of this app.
The whole range of country-specific functions can only be guaranteed in a MINI that has been especially equipped with "MINI Connected" (6NM).
To find out about compatibility with iPhones and any other information, check out www.MINI.com/connectivity.
Predefined function profiles for the vehicle can be activated via the new mode selection. The "Excitement Mode" focus is very much centred on the driver and his/her MINI. In addition the active audio function can also be selected. In this mode all the other functions are deactivated. It goes without saying that they are however still available in the usual way via the "MINIMALISM / Infotainment Mode".

Customer Reviews
Driving Excitement
Finally! Driving Excitement makes me happy to have shelled out extra for the MINI Connected option. More configuration options would be nice- more gauge choices for DE & ability to make custom profiles. Otherwise 2.2 is a great improvement. Allow it to connect via Bluetooth and it'd really rock!
A few more options would make it GREAT!
Wish you could add any kind of gauges to it (ie oil temp, etc.). Also, when using the new "Driving Excitement", you can't view FB, Twitter, etc.??? WHY???
Wow!! Totally awesome app
Like having a computer plugged into your car, hopefully BMW will open up a sdk for the connected platform
