I just bought a 2018 Mini Cooper S Clubman All4 and overall I’m very happy with the car. It has the smaller 6.5 inch touchscreen and the dial with the red dot (see photos below),

I have a few questions about the tech features in this model. Is there somewhere that shows you the tech features given the VIN or the model?

First thing I noticed was that the screen didn’t have the navigation icon. Is it possible this mode doesn’t have the navigation option. I thought that was standard with the 2018 Cooper S models? If not, is it possible to add it?

Also, is Apple CarPlay not possible with this model?

The current software being run is – MT-001.058.004 for media and TT-001.058.004 for telephone. Is there a way to check for updates and install them if they exist?

I’m sure I’ll have more questions, but any help on these basic ones would be great!

Thanks!

 

NAV only comes with the big screen. And CarPlay only comes with the NAV. So you don't have any of the two

And besides a heart transplant, it does not retrofit :-(

 

That’s actually ok, I just to make sure I’m not missing something.

Any my tips on software updates?

I also don’t see a remote start option... are any features like that activatable? Or that’s also out on this model?
