R56 Things you didn't know about your R56 MINI
I was in the build period (January) when a spare or lug wrench wasn't included. Out of good will, though, I got them. You might try pressing the issue with the dealer since the cars since then have the tools.
I have the Nav system and this thread started me going through every setting in my Nav system/OBC/Audio while I was waiting in dead still traffic today.
I found a setting under the date and time where you can set an tone to go off on the top of the hour. Unfortunately I discovered this at 6:10, so I didn't get to hear it.
I JUST realized that I could have set the time back 11 minutes while waiting in traffic and heard it, then set the time forward again. I guess I just too accustomed to intelligent devices like computers and cell phones getting their time from atomic clocks automatically.

hit 'audio' and move the highlighted box to 'cd', 'aux,' or 'radio' whichever you want and push the selector **** in...
This car comes from England where you can hang up a damp shirt to dry in your room, and find it dripping in the morning. Did that at a bed and breakfast once.
And here's me thinking it was for narcisists with no social conscience. My bad. Musn't deny the seeing impared access to the highways.
Mommashine, your answer sounds great but doesn't work, hence the question! My options, left to right, are tuner, cd, and aux--no radio option. Hitting tuner gets me the fine-tuning sound quality choices, and pressing in on the **** just takes me back to the CD. Now what?

When you press the audio button, are you rotating the **** to move the selection highlighter to tuner? I can't tell if you can see the choices highlighted from your description. When you have your choice highlighted then you press the **** to make your choice.
I can't imagine what kind of software glitch it would take for this to be messed up. That's why I'm trying to figure out if you understand how to navigate the interface.
Yup, I rotate the **** and it highlights the word "tuner." (Other options are CD and Aux.) Then I press the **** and it reverts back to the CD player face (and starts playing). Just turning the **** (without pressing) gets me the sound quality choices. I never get the word "radio."

Deb, I don't see the word radio. Tuner is the term used in the interface. Robin, AM or FM is picked from the button row once you have selected tuner and the radio interface is displayed.
Deb, I can't figure out what's wrong. It certainly sounds like you are making the right moves as far as operating it. I'm curious - do you have any problem choosing the AUX? Does the AUX display come up? (it just says AUX and there are no other functions on the button row.) What comes up when you press the music note button?
