MINI Connected Delayed
MINI Connected is being delayed. But it’s for the right reasons. According to exclusive sources MINI is pushing back the option to improve the software quality so the performance is perfect from day one. What they do not want to do is release something that requires a software update later for optimal performance.
But what of the timing? The word from our sources is that MINI is expecting this push back the options by “weeks instead of months” from the 2011 launch date. One caveat with all of this news is that we’ve only confirmed this delay for the US market. We’d expect all markets would be in tandem with this but (as we’ve learned in the past) the US market can, at times, play by their own rules when it comes to extra quality control measures.
For a refresher, lets take a look a closer look at the option. MINI Connected allows your iPhone to Connected the outside world to your MINI. The option adds a new 6.5” hi-resolution screen (the same as on the 2011 Nav system), Comfort Bluetooth (6NE) with Smartphone prep (6NF), a Combox control box (interface the iPhone with the car), Voice recognition (620), and a joystick controller to access all features just as the MINI Navigation uses. Currently, only the iPhone is supported, but the Android and Blackberry Smartphones are being planned as well for a later launch.
Also, you can disconnect your iPhone or iPod from the cable and still listen to your music via Bluetooth wirelessly. This means you can literally walk away from the car and control your music with your iPhone from 20 feet away. And with the new system, the only cable you need is the standard iPhone cable that came from Apple.
Diving deeper into MINI Connected’s online functions, let’s take a look at what can come through to your car. A audio feature called Webradio allows you to search for radio stations around the world by country, genre and so forth. From there just select the station and it’s streamed into the car.
You can also access RSS feeds (like MotoringFile’s for instance) with MINI Connected. Simply select playback and voice recognition will read out the text to you and continue on beyond what you see, playing back the entire article. While stopped, you can also read the whole news article.
The much maligned Mission Control is also a part of MINI Connected and features over 3,500 sayings. You can pick and choose what you want to hear and adjust the “enthusiasm level” by selecting your driving theme. In addition, the upgraded system will have a “MINIMALISM” Analyzer that gives you real-time hints for optimum fuel efficiency. Perhaps the most important feature of Mission Control? You can turn it off.
Another new feature is Dynamic Music. It allows you to choose from several beats and based on your driving conditions, can increase or decrease the intensity and rhythm, allowing you to literally create your own track while driving.
Also incorporated is Google Local Search. Here, you can search for common items such as restaurants, fuel stations and even post offices by location, type and even business name. When a result is found you can select it and if they have a phone number and address listed online, Google will display it right in your car.
And if you are a Facebook and Twitter fan, you can read recent posts just like the news feeds where limited text is shown while driving, but can be played back to you thanks to text-to-voice technology. If you are stopped, then you can read more. If you need to respond, MINI Connected can help you post with pre-populated responses based on information that it knows. For instance, you can simply choose from several sentences that will include things like temperature and vehicle speed. And if you have NAV, MINI Connected can even include your destination and current location. You could post something like this with just one twist and one click- “Hey guys, it’s 3:00 PM and I’m in my MINI driving Southbound to Main Street on this warm 74 degree day.”
Lastly, there’s option 7L5, MINI Connected with Navigation that also features Real Time Traffic Information. The new NAV system uses an internal solid state memory so DVDs are not needed. Maps can be updated through a USB port in the glovebox. Best part? It’s going to be only $1,750, which is cheaper than last year, but adds everything mentioned above with MINI Connected.

Gezien wij nu allebei BRG rijden en nu weer dezelfde kleuren zouden kiezen zegt dat toch iets over kleurkeuzes en de mensen die die kleuren kiezen valt me op. Zo heb je mensen die al hun auto's zwart kiezen of juist zilvergrijs, maar als je meerdere keuzes laat maken dan zie je toch dat dezelfde voorkeuren weer naar boven komen. Grappig
"We've got a thing that's called...MINI love"
Hahaha leuk Yvo, ik vind ook Cosmic Blue en Oxford Green hem erg ook mooi staan.Ivo schreef:Leuk om nu ook wat andere kleuren te zien! Cosmic Blue en Oxford Green staan hem ook erg goed vind ik

In Amerika was men even niet zo blij met de Countryman 
Autoblog schreef:Dat niet iedereen de MINI Countryman moeders mooiste vindt, zoveel was al bekend, maar de beveiligers van het Luxor Las Vegas casino sloegen een beetje door. Ze zagen een licht gecamoufleerde Countryman voor een bom aan, waarop ze de parkeergarage afsloten, een wielklem erop zetten en de afscheidsshow van Playmate Angelica Bridges onderbraken.
De MINI was niet van mannen met lange baarden, witte gewaden en kwade bedoelingen: het was gewoon een testauto van een paar Beierse engineers die in het nabije Death Valley de Countryman aan het testen en finetunen waren. Ze hadden alleen iets dat lijkt op een koelkastje achterin met wat Arabische letters erop. Arabische tekst! Ding! Bóóóm! Dat is dus al genoeg om de gemiddelde Amerikaanse securityboy helemaal op de kast te krijgen…

Jazeker is dat ons opgevallen.
Daarom zitten we ook te wachten op de juiste 19inch JCW velgen.
Maar dat gaat vast wel goed komen
