Apple device A special adapter cable is available for connect- ing the Apple device. The adapter cable is required for a proper connection. Further information: > At: www.mini.com/connectivity > At your MINI dealer. For audio playback over the vehicle speakers, connect the Apple device using the special adapter cable with AV-In connection 2 and USB interface 1 or using a flexible adapter cable with a USB interface 1.

Vehicle equipment In this chapter, all production, country, and optional equipment that is offered in the model range is described. Equipment is also described that is not available because of, for example, selected options or country version. This also applies to safety related functions and systems.
Overview
The concept Mobile phones can be connected to the vehicle through Bluetooth. Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue- tooth® SIG, Inc. After being paired once, when the ignition is switched on, these devices are automatically detected as soon as they are present in the vehi- cle and can be controlled via the onboard com- puter, the buttons on the steering wheel, and by voice. Up to four mobile phones can be paired. It may be necessary for some functions to be activated by the mobile phone provider.
Only make entries when traffic conditions permit. Do not hold the mobile phone in your hand while you are driving; use the hands- free system instead. If you do not observe this precaution, your being distracted can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.
Suitable mobile phones Precise information as to which mobile phones are supported by the hands-free device can be found at www.mini.com/connectivity. With a certain software version, these suitable mobile phones support the vehicle functions described below.
164
With other mobile phones or software versions, malfunctions may occur. A mobile phone that is connected to the vehicle should not be operated via the mobile phone keypad; otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

Vehicle equipment In this chapter, all production, country, and optional equipment that is offered in the model range is described. Equipment is also described that is not available because of, for example, selected options or country version. This also applies to safety related functions and systems.
Overview
The concept Mobile phones or other external devices, e.g. audio players, can be connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth. Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue- tooth® SIG, Inc. After being paired once, when the ignition is switched on, these devices are automatically detected as soon as they are present in the vehi- cle and can be controlled via the onboard com- puter, the buttons on the steering wheel, and by voice. Depending on whether they are functioning as a telephone and/or as an audio source, external devices can be used via the vehicle. The tele- phone functions will be described below. Oper- ation of audio functions, refer to page 157. It may be necessary for some functions to be activated by the mobile phone provider.
Only make entries when traffic conditions permit. Do not hold the mobile phone in your hand while you are driving; use the hands- free system instead. If you do not observe this precaution, your being distracted can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.<

Snap-in adapter The snap-in adapter, refer to page 185, makes it possible to: > Accommodate the mobile phone. > Recharge its battery. > Connect it to an external antenna of the
vehicle. This assures a better network connection and constant sound quality.
A mobile phone that is connected to the vehicle should not be operated via the mobile phone keypad; otherwise, malfunctions may occur.
Suitable mobile phones For precise information as to which mobile phones and external devices with Bluetooth interfaces are supported by the mobile phone preparation package, go to www.mini.com/ connectivity. With a certain software version, these suitable mobile phones support the vehicle functions described below. With other mobile phones or software versions, malfunctions may occur. It is possible to perform a software update, refer to page 161.
Displaying vehicle identification number and software part number Checking which mobile phones are supported by the mobile phone preparation requires the vehicle identification number and software part number. The software version of the mobile phone may also be required. 1. "Telephone" 2. Open "Options". 3. "Bluetooth® info" 4. "Display system information"
