MINI Connected is a free Android app developed by BMW GROUP that allows you to stay connected with your MINI anytime and anywhere. The app is optimized for 2013 and newer model year vehicles and is designed to learn your preferences over time. With MINI Connected, you can lock or unlock your MINI, activate climate control, and find your car with ease. You can also plan ahead and find destinations, connect to your MINI for easy navigation, and schedule trips to get alerted when to leave based on traffic.

One of the most useful features of MINI Connected is the ability to get walking directions from your parking spot to your final destination. Additionally, the app offers a Find Mate feature that helps you locate your belongings and import destinations from your calendar or other apps. Please note that while the app will function as expected on many older models, the availability of certain features may vary. A mobile Internet connection is required, which can incur costs according to your network operator's contract.
