>>There was a post a while back about how the manual is actually on a CD that is shipped after you take delivery. If that's so, maybe someone could post it for us?
Actually, we received a CD with the car itself and it included about 10 minutes on the Nav system. The CD is not really postable (at least by a computer incompetent individual like myself), as it is a cute little interactive set of mpegs that contain tips on how to operate every (or nearly every) accessory in the car.
Honestly, by the time I got around to checking it out I'd figured everything out except a couple of additional tips. And, of course, the frequency of changes that Mini has made to programmable accessories made parts of the CD obsolete (including some of those tips), so it more confused me than anything else.
Like mbabischkin implied, the Nav system is pretty easy to use. The hardest part for me was just getting used to the one button, one **** control (I kept hitting the opposite button... go figure only 2 buttons and I kept using the wrong one
).
Too bad they didn't use a touch screen like the Honda/Acura systems I've used before, now THAT was intuitive.
