Hey Steve! Suggestion RE: Your iPod storage. Use that handy net on the passenger side floor.

 

Steve got a question for you....you may have seem my post about the cradle in the arm rest... you got the wired package right?

what came with it?

what's inside that arm rest?

did the car come with the multi prong cable adapter?

Thanks

 

It works PERFECT that's where mine is in my R56.

 

ya there is some kind of plastic adaptor in the arm rest..looks to be for an iphone

 

There is no mention on the Mini USA site of the F56 and the Samsung S4 - one of the biggest selling phones in the world. I read somewhere that the F56 was designed to work with this phone. Anyone heard of an adapter for this phone - it's a simple usb?

 

my Samsung galaxy note 2 sync Bluetooth phone and media without issue

 

Great. Wonder if you can buy and adapter for Samsung phones though. Would be cheaper than an IPhone because it is not proprietary.

 

my samsung galaxy note 2 is too big to fit flush in the armrest... but it is a monster of a phone

 

Question to clarify, I also have a galaxy note II and use it sometimes for music via bluetooth in my R56. I am able to change the only the track however via the Mini's internal controls and have to go to the phone to change to a different album (not a big deal but not as integrated as when I am playing off an ipod or usb drive where I can also change the albums).

In the F56 are you also able to see and change the albums via the on board controls over bluetooth?

thanks

 

to be honest, I have not tried. I don't keep music on my phone. I only saw that it had connected to phone and media both. I use an Ipod for music.

 

cool, thanks dude

 

wow, incredible review. I love how customizable everything is! That's a lot of stuff to go through in the MINI Connected system.

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

What does the small LCD screen in the speedometer display?

 

Good review. I just got an F56S with Nav and you gave me a lot of detail!! thanks!

miles to empty
fuel efficiency
green mode info
MPH
