HOW CAN WE HELP?

With the optional "MINI Connected package" offer, you can extend the basic functions of your MINI with Operating System 9. After logging in to your new vehicle with your MINI ID for the first time, a free test phase starts automatically. 

You will receive a message before the end of the test phase and can then book the "MINI Connected package" offer in the MINI Connected Store as a monthly or annual subscription. You can find prices and further information on available services and apps for your vehicle in the MINI Connected Store in the vehicle or on the Internet. 

Please note: Depending on the country of delivery and the equipment of your MINI, the range of functions of the MINI Connected package may vary. Your MINI requires a mobile connection to use some services and apps. Individual apps require a separate contract with the provider. A MINI Connected package gives you unlimited data volume for the use of all streaming apps in the vehicle.

With the road network changing by up to 15% every year, make sure you always benefit from the best route guidance by updating your maps. 

This article explains how to keep the MINI Navigation Maps up to date by installing MINI USB Map Updates through the MINI Download Manager tool.

To understand the prices associated with updating your maps, please Login to your MINI account. 

Requirements:

• To use the MINI Download Manager, your MINI must be produced after the end of March 2018 with the option ConnectedDrive Services (SA 6AK).

Note: If your MINI was produced before March 2018 and/ or does not have the option for USB Map Updates, the maps can be updated at your nearest MINI Retailer.

• USB Map Updates are not required for MINI Operating System 9,  as this has live streaming that continuously receives live updates.

• The MINI Download Manager downloads the map to the computer (64 GB takes approx. 60 minutes), and then copies to the USB device (takes another 45 minutes). Approximately 2 hours in total.

The MINI Digital Key uses "Near Field Communication" (NFC), a mobile standard for wireless data transfer between two devices within a distance of a few centimetres. To unlock the driver's door using the MINI Digital Key, hold the top back of your smartphone or your Apple Watch near the door handle (about 2 cm) until you see a confirmation on your mobile device. To start the engine, place your mobile device in your MINI's smartphone tray and press the Start-Stop button. The MINI Digital Key Plus, on the other hand, uses "ultra-wideband" (UWB) digital mobile technology and Bluetooth®. When you approach your MINI, it is automatically unlocked, starts a welcome scenario and activates all functions for the vehicle start. To start the engine, your mobile device must be in the passenger area. The availability and the range of functions of the MINI Digital Key can vary depending on the country of delivery, the model and the equipment of your MINI and the model and software version of your smartphone.

To reset the tyre inflation pressure in your MINI, select the following in the MINI system:

"My MINI" > "Vehicle status" > "Tyre Pressure Monitor".

Apply the drive-ready state and do not drive off. Then select "Reset" and drive off.

The wheels are shown in grey on the control display and a message "Tyre Pressure Monitor reset is being carried out..." appears.

After a driving time of several minutes, the set tyre inflation pressures are adopted as setpoint values.

Note: The reset is automatically completed while driving.

After successfully completing the reset, the tyres are shown green on the control display and "Tyre Pressure Monitor active.

If the tyres are still displayed as grey after driving, either the system is still performing a reset to measure tyre inflation pressure or there may be a malfunction. 

Please speak with your preferred MINI Retailer if the reset hasn't restored the tyres back to green.
