MINI meet mobile. Mobile meet MINI.
Stay in the loop while you’re out on the road. Connect your mobile to your MINI via Bluetooth® wireless technology to make and receive calls without your hands ever leaving the wheel – simply use the steering wheel buttons or voice control. Access other stuff on your phone too, like your playlists and contacts. Handy, huh?
