Picked up a new Mini yesterday, couple of questions
I picked up a 2017 Cooper for my wife yesterday and there's a few little things that I'm curious about.
1. When I open the sunroof with the one-touch feature, it doesn't open the whole way. It opens most of the way but it stops about 3" from fully opening and I have to open it the rest of the way manually. Is this normal?
2. Is there really no way to pause music that is playing from your phone? Seems like a ridiculous omission.
3. What do the up/down arrows on the steering wheel do? Was hoping I could use this to skip music tracks but that doesn't seem to work? Whenever I use the buttons it says "not available" or something like that.
4. Not that I'd want to but is there a way to disable the auto dimming rearview mirror?
Thanks in advance! Car is great.

Normal. Prevents wind buffeting.

Hit the mute button/volume ****. Should pause your music.

I've found that these buttons don't play well with music played through a phone app, and are better used for radio stations/presets. I agree, it's an odd issue. Try plugging the phone in with your USB cable and see if the effect is the same. Additionally, try playing music that's on your phone vs. thru an app.
4. Not that I'd want to but is there a way to disable the auto dimming rearview mirror?
Negative ghostrider.
Sounds like you've been enjoying the car, though - keep enjoying it!

I only have the radio with HK Sound & I use a USB stick for music...the up/down buttons let me toggle between songs & the left/right buttons are for volume. Same goes for changing radio presets...at least that's what I recall, as I listen to my own music most of the time. I suppose the function of the up/down buttons depends on how your car is configured.

All of my VW's, and I've had a lot, their sunroof's never opened 100%. They also did not give you the ability to open past the preset stop point where Mini allows you to fully open past the predefined stop point.
