Hello, MINI lovers. I just bought my first MINI, a Countryman All4. If I got this right, it's a 19 MB ALL4 F60, eh? Fresh off the boat and I put the first mile on her. The mystery is this: The sticker says there are "3 12V DC Power Outlets" in this vehicle, but in spite of much searching inside the car, Googling, and searching these forums, I'm coming up empty on the location of two of the so-called three outlets. One is up front under the center LCD touch screen. This is the only option passengers have for charging their devices, which I find scandalous in this day and age. What is MINI thinking?

Anyway, if any of you kind souls can inform me about where the other two 12V power outlets are, I'd be obliged. I did not find them anywhere in the cargo area, so photos would be helpful since I'm clearly not the sharpest blade in the drawer, if you know what I mean.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't have an F so can't specifically tell you.

 

You've got the one under the climate controls in front, another under the rear climate controls, and one in the rear cargo area on the right-hand side as you look into the vehicle from the rear.

 

Hi, and thank you for your response. Unfortunately, the two in the back and cargo area are missing, as images below will show. The vehicle was just delivered and gone over hurriedly by the service department. Is it possible they missed installing something? That's unlikely, I'm sure. It bothers me that passengers have no point for charging devices, ditto for cargo area needs. This is on a 2019 ALL4 Countryman; small disappointments on an otherwise great vehicle.

Here are photos of my new MINI. As you can see, there are also no rear climate control options. Air and heat get to the back through the front vents and under-seat vents.


19 MB ALL4 F60: this is all the backseat passengers get by way of control or connectivity, namely nothing.

No 12V outlet in the cargo area either.

Nope.

 

I don't think that rear center console one is there anymore, that's where the 2 USB-C ports are IIRC.

 

Oops! You're right, MY '19 vs. '17. Progress!

 

My 2018 Hybrid only has one in the front? So silly

 

Well, color me silly: I figured it out. On the bottom of the line MINI Countryman, you only get one 12V outlet and only one USB, both of these up front under the display. Nothing for passengers. Of course, they tell you that the "classic" line is traditional, classic yadda yadda yadda. What they don't tell you is that you're going to have neither USBs or 12V outlets for passengers or any other use, including in the cargo area. The sticker I printed and the one on the Countryman I bought differed in that the one I obtained on line included three 12V outlets, hence my confusion.

Don't get me wrong: I really like my new Countryman. But I'll always feel a little miffed and shorted by MINI and the dealership for not being able to give my passengers what even the bottom-of-the line Fords and Chevys offer. In this day and age it's ridiculous to offer passengers nothing, including no controllable air vents for the back seats. I'm feeling buyer's remorse over these two "silly" little things. Bleh.

But thanks to all who tried to help. The moral of the story is "know thy MINI trim line."
