Manage your F-series Mini with your iPhone

Awhile ago, I wrote some iOS shortcuts to manage your F-series Mini with Siri on your iPhone. Sorry Android people, I got nothin' for you

Anyway, everything broke, but I think I just got it working again. I believe the only dependency is a working Mini Connected subscription, an iPhone, the Shortcuts app, and apple iCloud Drive.

How to use

Open the “Connected_setup” shortcut (do not run it)

* Click on the 3 dots next to the shortcut name

* Select "Customize Shortcut". Fill in the appropriate bits

Once thats done, run the "Connected_setup" shortcut. It should create a file called "bmw_connected.json" on your iCloud Drive.

Don't worry if you mess up the setup, you can just run it again. Also, please note, the shortcuts are kinda geared toward a GP (its what I have). You can modify them for your car (JCW, Mini, whatever) but thats on you to do. Also, you can't use a key phrase of "car" for some reason.

Also, I haven't been able to test this if you have a security question for Connected services, or for anything outside the USA. So...feedback is more than welcome! And you need all the shortcuts.

Setup the json file

Read the json file

Authenticate and get tokens

Get the locked/unlocked status

Lock your mini

Unlock your mini

Vent your mini

Edit: I had to update the "Setup" shortcut to work properly. If you already downloaded, please re-download. Sorry
