ENTERTAINMENT & INFORMATION.
MINI VISUAL BOOST RADIO.
The MINI Visual Boost Radio comes with a gorgeous, high-resolution and easy-to-use touchscreen display. It includes a double tuner, plus four mid-range speakers and two central bass speakers. A Bluetooth hands-free interface and an LED ring around the Centre Instrument are also included. It is easily operated via the MINI Controller in the centre console.
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.
Find detailed information on supported apps at http://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/ – and see how it makes your everyday life better, easier and more connected.

ADDITIONAL MID-RANGE SPEAKERS.
In addition to the already impressive speaker system fitted as standard in your vehicle, the MINI Connected Media and higher packages give you two additional mid-range speakers. These are fitted into the front door panels to deliver a smoother, clearer sound to help make your drive as safe and comfortable as possible with easy volume control and voice command features.
NAVIGATION & TRAFFIC UPDATES.
REMOTE SERVICES.
Remote Services enables you to access your MINI and activate some of its functions with your phone from a distance using the MINI App. This means you can locate your vehicle. You can lock and unlock the doors remotely. And you can also activate the air conditioning or ventilation from a distance, too, to make sure it's exactly as you like it before you head off. You can do all this and more with the MINI App.
AUTOMATIC MAP UPDATE OVER-THE-AIR.
To get the most out of your MINI Navigation system, we recommend updating your maps regularly. Road networks change fast – from closures, major upkeeps to completely new streets. That’s why we continuously update our map data to ensure MINI drivers have powerful navigation at their fingers. Navigation map updates of your country are sent to your MINI up to 4 times a year and automatically installed over-the-air.
New updates are displayed in the system the moment they are available. All you have to do is confirm. For full map updates, please consult your preferred dealership.
REAL-TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION (RTTI).
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'.
*Please note that function is available only in supported markets.
ASSISTANCE & SUPPORT.
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.
AUTOMATIC LEGAL EMERGENCY CALL.
All new MINI models in the EU now also integrate eCall – the mandatory automated emergency call system that alerts emergency services in the event of a collision. eCall automatically dials Europe's single emergency number – 112 – in the event of a serious road accident, and communicates the vehicle's location to the emergency services and further rescue-relevant data. Customers are dealt with in their national language, regardless of where the emergency call is triggered. We should add that this service is not a black box and does not constantly record the position of your MINI. It is there for added protection and records just the minimum data at the time of an incident – such as chassis number (VIN), exact location (via GPS) and additional data like type of collision. eCall cannot be used to monitor motorist's moves.
MINI TELESERVICES.
Trying to remember service appointments now is a thing of the past. Thanks to Teleservices, your MINI automatically knows when routine or unscheduled maintenance is required, and it provides you and your preferred MINI Service Partner with all the relevant information.
NATURAL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING.
You can speak to your MINI in your natural speaking voice. The Natural Language Understanding has a processing speed of just a few seconds and can recognise your normal voice. 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.
*Please note that function is available only in supported markets.
CONVENIENCE & CONTROL.
CONCIERGE SERVICES.
It's late in the evening and you're looking for a chemist, a special restaurant, an ATM, or you need to book a hotel. Just press “Concierge Services” in the MINI Connected navigation menu and one of your 'Personal Assistants' will be contacted via a cost-free call through a pre-installed SIM card. You don’t need to use your own phone. Our Concierge Services team provides a fast, location-based service and will search for – and research – any points of interest for you, in person, 24/7. Addresses and other details will be transferred directly to your MINI’s navigation system.
* only available for vehicles produced prior July 2022 with booked Connected Navigation Plus package.
HANDS-FREE TELEPHONY.
The standard Bluetooth system allows you to enjoy hands-free calling. Your mobile phone can be connected to your MINI via Bluetooth to make and receive calls without your hands ever leaving the wheel. You simply use the steering wheel buttons or voice control. What’s more, a second built-in microphone on the passenger side ensures optimised sound clarity throughout the interior of your MINI. The inductive coupling with your car's external aerial enables the mobile reception to be at least as good as it is outside the vehicle.
FRONT ARMREST.
The front armrest (with storage compartment) is as practical as it is comfortable. Ergonomically designed, it provides easy access to the MINI Controller. The armrest folds down and can be fixed in several positions. Furthermore, it houses the optional available sturdy wireless docking system which, equipped with a telephone-specific adapter, perfectly integrates QI-enabled smartphones into your vehicle, for secure storage and fast, optimised charging.
WIRELESS CHARGING.
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.
AMAZON ALEXA INTEGRATION.
You might know her from home, but now Alexa could soon be joining you on your journeys. Just press the speech button on the steering wheel for three seconds and add even more convenience to your MINI driving experience. Access services and entertainment, and even shop on the road with Amazon. You can also get her to control some functions in your smart home with your voice – like turning up the temperature before you get home.
*Please note that Amazon Alexa is only available as part of the MINI Connected Navigatio Plus package in supported markets.
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.
MINI CONTROLLER.
Located in the centre console, the MINI Controller allows you to easily navigate through all your MINI Connected features and functions by turning, pressing, tilting the dial. A small representation of the controller appears in your Touchscreen display so you can easily see where you are within MINI Connected and what you are doing. There are also direct selection buttons for Media, Telecommunication, Main Menu, Radio and Map Menu. An option key opens a context-sensitive settings page, and pressing Back takes you to the last page selected.
BLUETOOTH AUDIO STREAMING.
Bluetooth audio streaming allows the Bluetooth hands-free interface to wirelessly transmit music data to your MINI’s audio system. This is possible with the Radio MINI Visual Boost and all MINI Connected package options. Depending on the equipment installed, the mobile phone can be operated by the MINI Controller, the multifunctional steering wheel or by voice control.
EDRIVE COMFORT & EFFICIENCY.
EDRIVE SERVICES.
The optional eDrive Service from MINI Connected maximizes the comfort and efficiency of your MINI Cooper SE and MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid. While you are driving, it continuously calculates your Green Route - the most energy-efficient route you can take. View the next charging station, battery range, charging status or remaining charging time on your central display or in the MINI App. In addition, eDrive offers extended setting options for your battery and remote services for practical operation of vehicle functions via your smartphone. In addition to unlocking and locking, these are settings for charging, temperature and air conditioning at a specific departure time. The service also helps you to drive more efficiently by evaluating data from your last trip together with other statistics.
