Wife spilled Indian food in back seat of her 2010 S cabrio. When I pulled out the seat to steam clean, I discovered one of the factory build sheets for the car.

On it it said, "territory error" in one corner, then listed other options etc. just curious if anyone knows what that means.

Other surprise discovery is I learned the car has comfort access! 2 yrs (we bought used) and didn't realize we had keyless entry the whole time!

 

You can enter the last seven digits of your vin here to see a complete list of factory installed options:

Something doesn't work there. I've entered the vin and played the 'robot' game and then there's not a bit of information displayed. Tried it 3 times. What other hoops have to be negotiated?

 

Check the I'm not a robot button, play the game and click verify, then click submit. Scroll down. Just worked for me.

 

Did all that the first 3 times, asked if I could identify ice cream on one and mountains on another with no results. This time I just clicked the robot button and 'submit' and it took me right in, no worries. Go figure, I did have a sip of fine whisky between tries. Didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know but it was a fun exercise and something anyone with a good used MINI might like to check out to find out just what they have.

 

You should have known you have Comfort Access because you have the button on the door handles which locks/unlocks the car, and you do not need the key in the ignition to start the vehicle.

 

Lots of those CAPTCHA schemes run afoul of browser ad blocking extensions. I keep a copy of IE installed for use only when I run into a site that won't work properly in Chromium with the blockers running.

How well did the steam cleaning go? Indian seems like it'd be a real challenge to eliminate the smell entirely.
