Does anyone know if the Connected HD / Journey Mate application will work on the Mini Connected of a Countryman from 2012?

I hate to have to wait until I get in the car before I can enter the nav destination. Journey Mate allows to enter that in the phone and transfer to the car upon connection.

 

its should , make sure you have the latest MINI connected update app on your phone.

*Edit , work with XL package.

The Connected works fine. Connected HD/Journey Mate is the problem.

When I connect my phone and open the Journey Mate app it says connected, but the navigation system doesn't receive the route I have pre-programmed in Journey Mate.

And when I go to Connected on the car UI and try to open Journey Mate it says I need to have a car with Connected HD (vs just Connected).

I'll try updating the car SW and see if it changes anything, but my guess is that Mini made the Journey Mate application just for the new cars with Connected HD system :(

I really wanted the ability to pre-configure a nav destination instead of having to wait until I get into the car.

 

Pretty sure Journey Mate only works with the Connected XL system in the 3rd gen MINIs

 

Yeah, seems that's the case.

Can't really understand why Mini doesn't make this functionality backwards compatible.

I don't even need the full Journey Mate app (although that would be good) but the ability to preconfigure the destination makes a huge difference.
