It's a little cumbersome at first glance but understanding there is some repetition in the menus with short cuts to other menus. It took me a weekend of playing to understand how this os9 differs from the BMW idrive9
@@AllenBMWDurham oh, then I am probably stuck with my nav from Airplay :( I ordered it from China, going to use the car in an eastern European ex-soviet country. China sells it with 25+ % discount now, I am glad I did not buy it in the summer!
@@AllenBMWDurham there isn’t a garage opener in the new mini convertible. Maybe you can elaborate on what you mean by the universal garage opener ? Not sure I understand what you mean!?? Thanks!
As a Android device user, thank you for show demo Android Auto for The new Mini OS 9 . Is so hard to find Android Auto demo video , only show Apple CarPlay . I am from Malaysia.
@@AllenBMWDurham maybe like this. But next time you make show how to use Android Auto for the new Mini OS 9 demo video . My English no so great, but I try .
Biggest disappointment by mini that the base model mini countryman 1.5c does not have the union jack lights, you need to have level pack 1 minimum to get them to work. Even the staff at mini stratstone didn't know they don't come as standard on the base model, bit of a cop out by mini 😢
I can honestly say the jcw I have just now will be my last one. I love it to drive it, it's pretty good on fuel and I love all the little gimicky switches that remind me of a plane. This to me is all about a circular centre piece which if it fails you will be unable to use most of the functions on the car or will not know if they are doing what they should be. I want to keep my eyes on the road mostly because of the state of the roads now. And not have to look to the side to see what's going on or having to muck about with a screen to get something that a simple switch would do without me looking for it.. The interiour looks bare and boring. And the front of the car on the outside lol. The amount of flat panels that will be a magnet for stone chips🤦♂
You have a customisable display right in front of you, so I hardly look at circular display when driving tbh. Everything you need is on it, including turn signalling sat nav etc. it’s not distracting at all 👌
So far the best and more explanatory review regarding the operating system. Well done 🎉🎉
Thanks so much for this overview! I just bought a 2025 4D S to replace my 2019 and it's now like driving a computer!

Really nice. Thanks so much.
I will get mine in a few days and your video helped a lot :)
I love it. Will test drive one soon.

Can i open my garage with the new operating system?
If you got the universal garage door opener option you can open your garage door regardless of operating system

Seems kind of interesting to me
It is definitely a unique take on iDrive9
Mini finally did it !!!!!~
went from iDrive5 to iDrive9

Ughh... Not a fan
The UI is nice, but circle is not.
i'd like to live with this and see what I think after
