How do I download a Remote Software Upgrade for my MINI with Operating System 9?

If available, the data for a Remote Software Upgrade is automatically downloaded to the vehicle. No download consent is required. 

 

Via the MINI app

If a Remote Software Upgrade is available, information about the new software version is given in the MINI App. The data for the upgrade can then be downloaded to a mobile device, for instance via an existing WLAN connection. Data can then be sent from the mobile device to the vehicle. This transmission method accelerates the download of the data, for instance in areas with limited mobile network availability. You do not need to be present in the vehicle to download the data to a mobile device. 

  1. On the MINI App, download the upgrade to the smartphone.
  2. Follow the instructions in the MINI App.
  3. Connect your smartphone to the vehicle via Bluetooth audio and Wi-Fi. Data for the upgrade is sent from the mobile device to the vehicle both while driving and when stopped. Depending on the size of the upgrade, it may be necessary to drive your vehicle to complete the data transfer.
  4. Follow the instructions on the Interaction Unit.
