MINI INTELLIGENT PERSONAL ASSISTANT – VISUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY MINI.

A full-featured voice assistant has found its way into the cockpit of the MINI models for the first time. The MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant can be activated using the greeting “Hey MINI” or by pressing the push-to-talk button on the steering wheel. Voice-controlled interaction on the circular OLED display takes the form of an animation featuring graphical elements, typography and an avatar. In terms of the display, drivers can choose between “MINI” – a stylised image of a MINI – and the new digital MINI assistant known as “Spike”.

The MINI Intelligent Personal Assistant operate key functions of your MINI, like the navigation, telephony, the radio or even control the temperature. Maybe there’s something you need to know about your journey. The weather. Or you have a special request. Even if it’s just for a little chat, or you want to hear a joke.

READY TO CONNECT.

Driving is a breeze when you have a digital companion as well as access to a host of intelligent connectivity features that come standard, at no extra cost, that offer convenience, safety and connectivity. And should you want to equip your MINI with even more digital services, you can upgrade anytime.

MINI NAVIGATION.

The cloud-based, intelligent navigation, that comes standard, features significantly improved performance and particularly intuitive destination entry. It enables fast and dynamic route calculation based on precise real-time traffic data delivered at short intervals, which is then combined with predictive models. When the navigation app is selected, the map fills the entire OLED display. The colour of the displayed map adapts to suit the selected MINI Experience Mode. Automaitcally updated to the latest available, this system not only saves you time – it helps you with loading-optimized route guidance.

TAP INTO THE MINI APP.

Get closer than ever to your MINI with the MINI App. Tap into a world of connections and convenience from anywhere and at anytime using your smartphone. Its modern design, intuitive operation and extensive range of functions make it smooth to use enabling you to enjoy carefree mobility – anytime and anywhere. What's more, MINI drivers with compatible devices can now use the MINI App as a digital key to unlock and lock their MINI, and much more.

Digital Key Plus.

You can now open your MINI just by getting closer to it. The optional Digital Key Plus uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology with a high safety standard and works in just the same way as a traditional key fob. So if you are nearby, and your phone is in your pocket or a bag, it will unlock your MINI automatically – and then lock it again when you leave. Moreover, you can share the key with your family or friends via simple text message.

Want more connectivity?

In conjunction with the optional MINI Connected Package you have access to an ever growing range of practical features and entertaining apps, including options for gaming, music and video streaming.

You can now also look forward to a form of in-car gaming that is unique in the automotive sector. Drivers and passengers can play so-called casual games in the AirConsole app when the vehicle is stationary.

Music streaming apps like Spotify and Amazon Music have been adapted to the MINI Operating System 9 so that they integrate perfectly into the round MINI Interaction Unit, enabling MINI customers to enjoy an intuitive and visually appealing music streaming experience.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available in the MINI Operating System 9 for wireless smartphone connectivity. Besides appearing on the MINI Interaction Unit, relevant information can also be shown on the optionally available Head-Up Display.
