Wow! My CMSALL4 with the Technology package is just a month old.... Everything I use is in the Apple eco-system... I certainly would have waited the few weeks for this. Hard to believe its not installable with a firmware update.....
Cant you use the website and enable it? Mini connected services? If the model you’re talking about is a 2018+ model, it’s should have all the things in place for Apple CarPlay to be activated.
I have a 2019 MIni Cooper S. I assume it will take CarPlay ok>>>BUT I have an iPad and no modern cellphone and I must get a cellphone connection to have this work? Correct?
At this time, Apple CarPlay is only available on the 2018 MINI Countryman and Clubman built after July 2017 when equipped with the MINI Connected with Touchscreen and Navigation option.
MINI USA will the hardtop ever have it in the future? I currently have a MINI but looking into trading it in for a new built MINI... Not into the club or country right now... I drive constantly for work and this would be a great asset for my new car.

MINI USA how can I install Apple car play in my Mini Cooper country man 2019 built on 2018? I felt very disappointed when I found my mini with out App CarPlay 😤
We just got the 2024 mini Cooper. Engaging Apple CarPlay is not easy. It’s buried in menus for the mini system. Why is there not just one button that engages CarPlay?
I just purchased a 2017 Mini Countryman 2 months ago. Apparently my car make didn't come with this update. I was told by the dealer that as longs as I got the Connected xl media package, I would be able to update to this later on at a cost. He referenced that all BMW's are able to update their software later as long as they have drive 5.0 and since the new connected system is based on Drive 5.0 it should be able to be added on later for a cost. When will this be out for an update? id like to use this on my car.

I just took delivery on a 2018 PHEV Countryman and found that Apple Carplay is not installed in the vehicle. Am truly bummed out, and can't find any info about updating the software to include Carplay. Not sure if the vehicle software can be updated. Connected 5?? Not impressed with the program.

I'm sorry, because I bought a model just released and after 2 months this has already changed with new features. I hope we can do this as soon as possible! It would not be fair to customers like me who bought the car right away.
I agree I just got a 2017 Mini Cooper and then they get Apple car play not to mention I’m not even an Apple user I’m Ann android user hate how it’s so limited and bias
Love the car, but so disappointed with Apple CarPlay. First off, why only use half the screen? The screen is already small-who wants to navigate using a 4” wide map? Then, despite APC using Wifi, my audio constantly cuts out. Luckily, the Mini infotainment system is awesome, so I can avoid using APC all together.
Unfortunately not. At this time, Apple CarPlay is only available on the 2018 MINI Countryman and Clubman models built after July 2017 with the available MINI Connected with Touchscreen option.
MINI USA Sooo frustrating and everything that is wrong with MINI Corp. So you're telling me I just spent $45k on a MINI and now can't have one of the most desirable auto informatainment options out there because I didn't wait a month longer. Oh by the way not like it was mentioned or advertised it would even be available. I love my JCW Clubby but MINI continues to make poor business decisions that seem to clearly reflect in month after month of dismal US sales.
It does not work, very annoying. Everytime I start my car, the Spotify app starts up on my Iphone, but the music only plays on the Iphone. So I have to shut it off manually while driving. Iphone 6.
You do not need to say "Siri" before giving commands. Once Siri is actively listening, that's unnecessary. The only time you ever need to say its name is when you're not in the car and you want to activate Siri by saying "Hey Siri."
Hi Guys at MINI USA I just got my 2018 Countryman, by mistake I chose the MINI Visual boost and not the touchscreen radio, so I’m wondering if I can Upgrade to the touch screen radio, so I can have access to all the other features that I don’t get with the smaller screen!
Apple CarPlay is currently available in the MINI Countryman and Clubman models when equipped with the MINI Connected with Touchscreen and Navigation. It will become available on the MINI Hardtop and Convertible for 2019 models.
Just bought a 2019 S F60 and my CarPlay not functioning yet my sales dealer said it takes a few days to start up going almost on two weeks and nothing smh. Very disappointing.
Just got a new 2019 mini with apple CarPlay and it works really well
I have 2021 Mini Cooper signature trim convertible but mine dissent have this feature it’s sad because it’s a 2021 n yet dissent have the feature 😢😢
Will there be an update to use the whole screen width like the BMW iDrive 7?
Frederic Bacro That would be amazing, maybe in a future update?
Is Apple Carplay available in 2017 or 2018 Countryman models?
I would give anything to have this and this car!!!! It's my Dream Car!! I wish to own one of these days!!!💖💖😍😍👀👀
Anything!?

Peggy Berk yeah it's beyond upsetting that you can't update the system via usb port.. live my mini but that's garbage
Cant you use the website and enable it? Mini connected services?
If the model you’re talking about is a 2018+ model, it’s should have all the things in place for Apple CarPlay to be activated.
At least people will keep their eyes on the road... I would like this but it should be a stationary mode only.
I have a 2019 MIni Cooper S. I assume it will take CarPlay ok>>>BUT I have an iPad and no modern cellphone and I must get a cellphone connection to have this work? Correct?
William Taylor if you have the navigation option pack.
Do 2020 cars still have the touchpad on the idrive controls?
How do you arrange apps in settings for CarPlay?
Finally! Hope the S E model can reach Malaysia soon!
I have 2018 with the navy system, can I play video on it? I don’t see any where that would tell to do so. Thx.
when HUD can display carplay's map?
Perfect thank you very much

How did you connect CarPlay to your phone
Why not App Waze maps?
Yes, Waze works too, had demo car last week and it worked well.
I just got the 19 2 dr hardtop with 6.5 screen but I don’t see these options and I don’t even believe it’s a touchscreen!
SubVet 8286 you need the navigation pack as well to get airplay.
WOW. THIS IS AWESOME! 😄🚗📲

I think it's a BMW thing. Your grief sounds very similar to the fiasco I had with my X5.
It does not work, very annoying. Everytime I start my car, the Spotify app starts up on my Iphone, but the music only plays on the Iphone. So I have to shut it off manually while driving. Iphone 6.
Does it have the Overdrive app? I love listening to audiobooks on the Overdrive app.
Why have you blocked Android Auto?!🤬😡🤬😡🤬

Hi Razy, unfortunately a retrofit is not possible at this time. Please contact your local MINI Dealer for further assistance.
I just got 2018 John Cooper Works, and it doesn’t come with apple play😡
