Remote Services saves you the inconvenience of a long search for your MINI as you can control it from a distance, making finding your vehicle a whole lot easier. Its location can be indicated by sounding the horn or flashing the lights – or via a map on your smartphone. But you can do a lot more than that. It lets you control various functions on your MINI from a distance as you have all the information conveniently in one place in the MINI Connected app. For example, you can access the status of the windows and doors, unlock and lock your door – or you can operate the air ventilation well before you get inside.

Available on App Store and Google Play, our app learns your preferences over time and gets you closer to your MINI via the Vehicle Finder feature and Send-to-Car navigation support. You can also have everything in your life under control with nifty features like Scheduling Assistant and MINI Findmate.

MINI and Spotify give you access to all the music you’ll ever need, via your MINI sound system. Just connect the free Spotify iPhone® app to your MINI Connected system, and enjoy 30 million songs as well as Spotify radio. You can make your own playlists, too, so that you now have the perfect music for any journey. Control your Spotify music completely through MINI Connected and avoid the distraction of your phone.

Your smartphone and your MINI become one with the MINI Connected app. Imagine you’re heading off somewhere but you’ve got to buy a couple of things en route. Destinations and places that you have found on the web or using apps such as Apple Maps and Google Maps can be seamlessly and conveniently transferred to your MINI with the send-to-car facility. Just one click and you can conveniently import a selected destination – like a shop – in your MINI Connected navigation system. Once you've parked, you can use your smartphone to seamlessly guide you to your final destination on foot.

Speak to your MINI in your natural speaking voice. 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 your eyes safely on the road.

Driving is always most enjoyable when you have a personal travel planning app looking over your schedule, making sure you always arrive on time. Well it's now here – and here's how. MINI Connected gets to know your driving patterns. You synchronise it with your calendar, so all your appointments are integrated and your MINI can give you directions before you set off. It also sends your phone or Apple Watch reminders when you have to leave to arrive on time. Later down the road, it can hunt parking spaces for you and inform people when you will be arriving. All the remote functions can be easily activated from the MINI Connected app. What could be better?

MINI FindMate is your useful Bluetooth tracking tag you attach to personal items you don‘t want to leave behind – like your briefcase. Just download the latest version of the MINI Connected app to your phone and create an account. Pair your phone via Bluetooth® with the tag and you're set. As you move further away from the tag, the connection breaks and you will receive a notification on your smartphone. Even better, you can check where the item is by using the map in your app as it will always show its last recorded GPS location. Once you're nearby, the tag will emit an acoustic signal to help you pinpoint its position.

Regardless of the challenges a new day throws at you, rest assured you can tackle it spectacularly with your MINI. Whether you’re looking for a late night sushi restaurant or more, with the Concierge Service ready to assist you 24/7, you can get help from anywhere, at any time.
