Looks like BMW is letting Android in the door a little. Hopefully we will see the Convected App for Android soon!!!

That would be great. My new Galaxy S III is armed and ready if they offer something that works!

According to BMW, the ability to interface Android devices with their Connected software is a year away. The assumption is this will include MINI, but who knows.

"Ever since MINI Connected debuted in 2010 for the iOS, people have been asking about Android. We’ve reported previously that the sheer number of different device types and hardware has made it very difficult to create a unified MINI Connected app for Android devices. Now we have the details.

With the exception of the BMW Android Remote app that will launch before the end of the year there will be no future offerings for the current crop of BMWs or MINIs. That specifically means no support for MINI’s in-car App platform MINI Connected. We learned this hard truth about the number one smartphone operating system from one of the BMW and MINI Connected Drive engineers during a recent trip to the FIZ (R&D center) in Munich."

Grrrrrr.... I guess iPhone five better have a much larger screen. Otherwise I will never find out all the cool extra things MOJO can do with a iPhone plugged in!
