The new generation MINI Connected application / software assistance with built-in 4G SIM technology has just been introduced in Malaysia. MINI Connected will enable owners to integrate their MINI more seamlessly into their digital lifestyle. Also, together with the introduction of this new application for added connectivity, MINI Malaysia has also announced the latest prices for all MINI cars here in Malaysia (OTR without Insurance).
According to MINI Malaysia (a brand under BMW Group Malaysia), the New MINI Connected will be available in all 2019 MY (Model Year) MINI models. The New MINI Connected application includes relevant services to maximise safety and convenience. It will offer up-to-date information, superb entertainment and staying connected to others even while you are on the road.
Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “The BMW Group has over 20 years of experience in developing innovations that connect the driver to the car and to the world they live in. This expertise is now introduced in all MINI vehicles here in Malaysia with MINI Connected. In the age of personalisation and digitalisation, MINI Connected presents the best of both worlds with extensive connectivity capabilities and personalised services.”
Hoelzl added that MINI Connected aims to create more value and enrich the lives of MINI owners with unique and creative digital services to support the modern and sophisticated lifestyles of MINIacs in Malaysia.
The MINI Connected App Product Brief:-
An application that maximises safety and connectivity
Unique to the BMW Group, MINI, like BMW, also features the Intelligent Emergency Call
responds when the crash sensors for the seatbelt tensioners and airbags are activated, or
when data from the yaw-rate sensor indicate an accident. This triggers an automatic call to the
MINI emergency call centre, where the system provides relevant data to ensure the best
possible response. The Intelligent Emergency Call can also be triggered manually to request
help for other road users.
TeleServices enables a peace of mind MINI ownership. It transmits relevant vehicle data to
MINI and the MINI service partner, who will then inform owners if their car requires
maintenance or when the service appointment is due. In the event of a breakdown, issues can
be resolved via remote diagnosis or by organising local roadside assistance.
The New MINI Connected also offers MINI Online which provides useful information about the
news and weather that can be read out via the audio system. Meanwhile, the newly available
MINI Concierge Service supports owners with any request while on the move at the touch of a
button. Using the built-in 4G SIM card, the service establishes a telephone connection to the
MINI call centre whenever required, free of charge.
For iPhone users, the wireless Apple CarPlay allows selected apps to be shown on the central
display and operated via the MINI controls. Popular iOS apps such as Spotify, Waze, Google
Maps and WhatsApp are also supported.
The MINI Connected app for Apple and Android devices has been redesigned and now
connects drivers even more closely with their car through eDrive Services and Remote
Services. With eDrive Services, MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid owners can use their
smartphone to keep track of the vehicle’s battery status and remaining mileage, as well as to
initiate the charging process. Drivers can also view personal efficiency status data for their
most recent journey. Through the MINI Connected app, Remote Services can be activated to
control MINI functions using a smartphone – be it to operate the headlight flasher or honk to
help locate the parked MINI in an unfamiliar environment.
Synchronising the MINI Connected app with a personal calendar can turn it into a personal
mobility assistant and help MINI drivers get to appointments on time. This also enables
functions including “Send to Car” where the app transfers routes planned on the smartphone to
the car’s navigation system, Last Mile Route– a continued navigation via smartphone while
walking from the parked car to the actual destination, Time-to-Leave Notification and Share
Live Trip Status.
MINI Connected Packages.
The standard MINI Connected features such as MINI Connected app, Intelligent Emergency
Call, Teleservices, MINI Online and Remote Services are available as standard for the MINI 3
Door, MINI 5 Door, MINI Clubman, MINI Countryman, as well as MINI John Cooper Works
models. Meanwhile, premium features such as Concierge Services and Apple CarPlay are
available for both MINI Countryman and MINI John Cooper Works models. eDrive services are
available exclusively for the MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid.
Of course, not everything can be explained. It would be easier to get it from MINI themselves over at their website - https://www.mini.my/miniconnected.
