The concept
You can use MINI Connected to integrate certain
software applications of a suitable mobile phone
into your MINI. These software applications are
displayed on the Control Display. They are oper-
ated using the MINI joystick.
The range of software applications can be coun-
try-specific.
Requirements
The following requirements must be met for the
function of MINI Connected:

must support the software applications of
MINI Connected.
> The software applications are installed on
the mobile phone and are operational.
> Suitable mobile phone
> Appropriate mobile phone contract.
Possible additional costs incurred are not
included with MINI Connected.
Only make entries when the traffic situa-
tion allows you to do so. If you do not
observe this precaution, your being distracted
can endanger vehicle occupants and other road
users.
For safety reasons, some software applications
can only be used when the vehicle is stopped. <
Only use software applications approved
by the manufacturer of your MINI; other-
wise, malfunctions may result. <
