Irvine MINI Confirms, New Driving Excitement App From MINI Connected Measures All Major Performance Parameters

December 28, 2011 – Irvine, Calif. – Irvine MINI is excited to confirm, thanks to the new functions from MINI Connected, Driving Excitement, the latest MINI Connected App, gives you access to the engine control unit (ECU).
    
The functions Condition Check, Force Meter and Digital Sports Instruments offer Apple iPhone owner’s unique ways to experience MINI driving fun in even greater depth with sports instruments, car analysis and acceleration data on the on-board monitor.
    
With this new app the driver can find information on the status of the car and its surroundings, plus acceleration, coolant temperature, engine output, and rpm and/or torque on the on-board monitor’s high-resolution color display. The new MINI Connected app underlines once again the leading role of the British premium small car manufacturer in the intelligent link-up of the driver, car and outside world.
    
Like the preceding versions of the MINI Connected app, the latest update is uploaded into the car via the iPhone. The MINI Connected app can be used in all current MINI models equipped with the radio MINI Visual Boost or MINI navigation system and MINI Connected option. The functions are operated using the MINI joystick, steering wheel buttons and on-board monitor, where the displays for each function are presented safely and with customary MINI flair.
    
The Condition Check function keeps an eye on – among other things – the engine temperature, fuel level, status of the optional Sport Button, outside temperature and signs of rain. Should conditions allow, the display in the on-board monitor proudly declares everything “BE MINI”.
