How do I activate/deactivate the Drive Recorder in my MINI?

The Drive Recorder stores brief video recordings your vehicle's surroundings, e.g., to document surrounding traffic. To do so, the system must be activated on the Interaction Unit before using it for the first time. The Interaction Unit can be used to configure video recording settings, e.g., recording type and duration. Video recordings can be saved in different ways:

 

– Automatic storage of recordings makes it possible to document the vehicle accident or theft using the corresponding recording type configured.

– Saving recordings manually helps you document traffic situations using your set recording type. 

 

For equipped MINI vehicles, follow the steps below for activating/deactivating the Drive Recorder:

The Drive Recorder must be activated on the Interaction Unit before using the recording function for the first time.

  1. Go to the Apps menu.
  2. "All"
  3. "Drive Recorder"
  4. Accept the Privacy Policy.
  5. "Settings"
  6. "Allow recording"
  7. Select the desired setting.
