New MINI App

[insightman]

Anyone else having trouble reaching the car on either app lately? Pushing lock/unlock climate works, but it’s not updating charge %.

Just now 94%

That randomly happens I see. Mine is working currently.

Resurrecting....

Forgot to regularly check for android but did today. New app available, but until they return the edrice info I'll use the old more likely

Perhaps we can drive the developers to get the e-drive tracking feature added to the new Mini app if we all request it. I don't want to have to use both apps. Open the new Mini app, then touch the person icon on the lower right, then scroll down and select "send feedback", and then "app feature request" and type your comment. Send them a note!

I too have submitted the necessary feedback. Really can't believe that feature was left out.

Noob question: does the MINI App (old or new) track the location of your car keys? Thinking about ordering an Apple AirTag but wanted to double check. Thanks!

Not without help. The old app supports MINI's FindMate tags: https://www.shopminiusa.com/Product/1779/MINI-FINDMATE

When I took delivery of my MINI, the dealership gave me a swag bag with various MINI lifestyle accessories, including a FindMate tag. Maybe you'll get one, too?

No swag bag here. But I'm a repeat customer to that dealership.

No swag bag here, either. But I'm happy to have the car!

Yes, because I received my car the last day my dealer was in business, I was happy to get my car, too.

I didn't get a swag bag, but my Motoring Advisor handed me one of MINI's FindMate tags and 2 pair of MINI socks.

I'm glad this topic came up to remind me about those MINI socks because I need to wear them when I show off my SE at the local Drive Electric Earth Day event tomorrow (it's supposed to rain, sadly, so I won't be putting on my show-day Power Spoke wheels).

MINI is missing the boat by not selling MINI Electric gear: hats, sweatshirts--and socks. I've already designed a T-shirt for them but for some reason they haven't contacted me to get the file. Perhaps MINI's leaders are not old enough to remember PepsiCola's successful anti-CocaCola campaign in 1975, "Take the Pepsi Challenge."

Just started using the new mini app with my 2022 car. Sorry if this has been discussed. On various videos, they show that there is a "charging history" section on the main app page, but it's missing on my app. Do you guys have that on yours? Thanks!

I have no EV related info outside of charge/range on mine in the new one. I still predominately use the old.

Mine does not have it (iPhone, in USA). I have seen a screen shot by someone in Europe showing their charging history, so I guess that feature hasn't rolled out to North America yet.

Yeah, the mobile stores allow you to rollout new features by region. It’s best to control testing of large changes. No telling how long before they deploy the feature world-wide, but at least it’s a good indicator it will be available at some point.

I am getting a notification that the old Mini App will stop working June 30th. Still no edrive info. I'll be quite annoyed if that doesn't get fixed.

Can I like an unlike post?

I've been rather busy doing some crazy parent stuff, but I am making time to review the new app as well as send regular feedback about edrive info missing. Wonder how long it will take.

"Ms. Lainey, thank you for your suggestion. We have forwarded it to Southampton, where it is waiting for a boat."
