MINI Connected Adds Google Local Search and Send to Car

Connect your iPhone to the USB socket in your MINI to control the infotainment system of your vehicle via the MINI Connected app.

MINI Connected is a unique integration of driver, car, and the online world, which revolutionizes in-car infotainment. A new world is opened when you combine a MINI with the installed option "MINI Connected" and this app. Simply connect the iPhone to the USB socket in your MINI (for details refer to the owner's manual) and experience the full functionality of this app – on the display and through the audio system of the car. Use the MINI joystick to navigate through the app in the car with ease. This app contains a collection of innovative functionality and helpful enhancements to your MINI’s infotainment system. The iPhone touch screen can be used to configure the app, and selected features can also be used outside of the car – so you can take MINI Connected everywhere.
