The Kiwi works great in my buddies truck and works amazing. I am gonna get this Kiwi for my Mini gauges. Mini wants about $300 for their gauge pod. Where is the port in the Mini Cooper S to plug the Kiwi in?

It has a 2 inch cover which flips down.

At the left underside area of knee bolster above/area of the fuse panel door.

The android torque app does, so I'd imagine so. If you have a gen 2 mini, you'll prolly have even more info than the gen 1 cars, bc the obd stuff is more advanced post 2007 due to gov regulations.
