What do I need to bear in mind when installing a Remote Software Upgrade in my MINI with Operating System 9?

The following requirements apply when installing Remote Software Upgrades:

– Sufficiently charged battery.

– The outside temperature is above 14 ℉/-10 ℃.

– The vehicle is parked in a horizontal position.

– The hazard warning system is turned off.

– The selector lever position P is engaged.

– The engine is turned off and sufficiently cooled down. Where applicable, note additional requirements given on the Interaction Unit. 

If the requirements are not met, e.g., sufficiently charged battery, the upgrade will not be offered for installation. If all prerequisites are met, the upgrade can also be installed using the MINI app. Follow the instructions on the MINI app. Pay attention to an offer for installation, e.g., after longer trips.  

 

Preparing the vehicle

– Park the vehicle safely away from the public road.

– Make sure that the vehicle has mobile network reception so that a fault message can be sent to the vehicle manufacturer, e.g., if the installation is canceled.

– Close the windows.

– Close the glass sunroof.

– Close the cargo area.

– Remove devices that consume power, e.g., a mobile phone.

– The vehicle key must be located in the vehicle for the consent for installation.

– Turn off the exterior lighting.

– Remove any devices connected to the diagnostic socket.
