It appears that all your $1750 gets you with the latter is 1) the ability to pair your phone with your car, and 2) wireless charging (if you opt for it)? Is that correct?
Touchscreen Navigation versus Touchscreen Navigation Plus?

that is a very good question... interesting that the online builder doesn't let you have wireless charging AND enhanced Bluetooth/USB... I should probably check my order about that..I thought the wireless charger came standard on the Iconic...?
From what I understand Mini plus navigation is used with the heads up display. I could be wrong but allows you to use the GPS navigation without the phone and you get Mini Concierge service (scheduling something at the dealership I'm guessing) and Mini Connected services apps which allow you to located your car parked... send navigation to the phone ect...
BUT I could be all wrong on this I don't have my car yet...hopefully someone knows chimes in. It's too bad the online builder doesn't really go into much detail because that is quite a bit of money.
