Map updates are done by yourself via USB, but you have to buy the updates which come out about twice a year. You would buy the update from your dealer and you would receive a USB stick with the new maps that is specific to your VIN. Plug the USB stick in while the car is on and the update process starts automatically.

 

Thanks siriuszero I spoke to my dealer today they don't seem to know much to be honest...
I will try a few other dealers local to me in the UK next week.
I have found my current software version for media which is MN002.045.001 but i don't know if this the most up to date..how do you know?
And does mini release software on the same dates each year then?

Many thanks to any answers to these questions :|

As for apps, there's the recently updated MINI Connected app and the MINI Connected Journey Mate XL app. Both apps let you use an integrated interface for 3rd party apps like Spotify, TuneIn, etc. Both apps also gives you on-screen access to your Calendar. Both apps have the functionality to direct you to the last know location of your MINI. They differ in that the MINI Connected app tracks your trips (has trip details), while the Journey Mate allows you to plan trips and conveniently transfer them onto the nav system.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks vickered have now updated to journeymate

Check here this should help you, I got mine here : latestsatnav(dot)co(dot)uk

 

Does anyone know the latest sat nav version?

Thanks

 

Several junctions etc are missing from mine as well and I've just had a update at the dealers and it's still the same!

Just need to drive as we used to and use our eyes

 

If you are driving in Scotland at the moment and are on the new stretch of the M8 the sat nav thinks you are driving through a field. However, the best thing you can try is driving over the new Queensferry Crossing, as you can apparently now drive on water.

 

One of the irritations of my new JCW. That blinkin' bridge has been in plan and build for about 3 years. You'd think someone at BMW/Mini or wherever they source their maps would have included it by now. Bought my car in October 2017 and it still thinks I'm flying as I head towards the capital. If you have navigation active, it gets very confused once you get to the south side.

 

Just updated my maps from the NEXT 2015-1 version to NEXT 2018-2, and you'll be pleased to know the Queensferry Crossing now officially exists!!

 

How did you go about it Dan? Via your dealer? Was it expensive? I need to see to mine soon, my 2018 LCI is already out of date as I'm already driving through fields regularly due to the new Aberdeen bypass!

Can you tell on yours if the AWPR is on there?

 

Did you update your maps via the dealer, Dan? If so, was it expensive? Would like to update mine at home if at all possible. Thanks!

I got my update from www.latestsatnav.co.uk, cost me £50. They sent me a USB containing the map data, then after emailing them my VIN I was sent a code. After plugging the USB into the dash and entering the code, the update installed in about an hour.

I think dealers will also sell you the updated maps, but at a premium price. I chose to wait until my car was out of warranty before updating, in case I voided any warranty software by using an unofficial update.

 

hi there,

i plug in the pen with the map files, and it does nothing...

anyone could help! please!

thanks

 

Where did you get the USB from? You should have also received a long code which you'll need to enter at the beginning of the update process.
