as mentioned @7th comment (Best iphone 4 audio out cable ...! )

"Perfectly works with iphone 4, I suggest you to buy this cable. I bought 3 of them, they all work perfect..."

, so it works for iPhone4 or 4S

Just making sure because...

We have 2 different Y cables available for the Mini and only one will work with the Connect system so I'm just asking because on that site there are different cables depending on iphone 2/3/3gs or 4/4s. I'd like to order one that's compatible for the 4s but when you try to navigate through the site to ask for assistance it's really difficult.

Regards.

I put my JCW away for the winter, but I wanted to see this new update. I did not drive the car, but it looks like the new update gives you a digital engine temp gauge. It also gives you the choice of either engine rpm or engine torque in a gauge. It also lets you customize mission control. You can choose to have up to 3 different options of it play. For instance you can have it tell you vital engine things, climate control things and entertainment things. you can mix and match or have all three.

Now the bad part. It seems like you can either have the gauges and mission control or the infotainment like twitter and facebook. You can not do both. You must unplug the iphone and change it in the app, then plug it back in. For example when you are in the gauges you do not have the option for facebook.

Yep! "Driving Excitement" seems to be the big change - digital gauges for horsepower and torque (or engine speed). I can see this being the start of a series of digital gauges in the vein of the GT-R's Polyphony Digital type display.

Just plugged it in to see the display. I haven't taken it for a drive to see it in action.

The gauges are based upon the accelerometer in your mini.. It's really all for look.. Major delay!!

Issue with the new "Driving Excitement" app in the mini connect. You cannot change radio stations from the steering wheel when this is selected.

Have you tried to see if the measurement matches your car? I mean I have a JCW, and max power i get is 184 bhp and 260nm. Strange... Is it the same for those who have a JCW?

Hp and torque

I get 211 Hp and 192 torque on my 11 r60 all4
if only

It does not seem terribly accurate as the torque figure seems to plateaue at 192 very early - its is interesting is that is I believe the max stated torque number during over boost an was curious if it was a calculate vs real number just base of rpm.

But more difficult to see what's happening at peak HP as I am busy trying not miss shift at redline but it to seems to

interesting... I read this post last night but it was below freezing and I wasn't willing to go out and check it. This morning, I did and I'm able to change between stations on AM, FM and Satellite radio.

As far as the gauges? They seem to be working okay for me. I'm not sure how accurate the HP and Torque can be since it usually takes a dyno to read them. Perhaps it's showing the demand?

Please read my last post... People lets not be stupid. This is not a real gauge. It's just for your entertainment. So don't get anything in a bunch cause it says something you don't like.. Sorry I had to be so blunt but really...

Still not able to change my stations from my steering wheel when I have the radio selected to "Presets" that have FM and Sat stations in it, WHILE I have the new "Driving Excitement" gadges displayed on the screen. Once I leave this screen, the steering wheel buttons return to normal.
