I sat in the car this evening for a play and discovered you can have the ring light match the mood lighting! You can also have it work like a rev counter. This pic shows 4 shades, I think there is about 8??

Great photos!


I like the fact that at night when you unlock the car the mood lighting cycles through all the colours automatically.

I'm jealous, all I've got to look at is the Catalogue, so please keep posting this sort of info for the poor sods waiting for the birth of their Mini's.

@midnightf56 , which light package did you take?

Sorry for the late reply.....

Just checked invoice and under CHILLI PACK option section it lists
4V9 MINI Excitement Pack
563 Interior lights Pack

Looking at the website now it is much more confusing than when I spec'd my car. I don't know if Mini Excitement Pack makes any difference to the lights as it only mentions readings of G force etc on the big screen!

Hope this helps?

so red is hot and heavy, purple is paying for it, blue is getting to know you and green is when you want to get it over with?

Can anyone confirm

Looks great. so is what you guys are saying is that not all of the new hardtops have this light package? Mine was a gift, and I'm wondering if they ordered it with a special light package. If no special package was ordered, what is included?

How do I find this in the menu?

Want the led ring to do something at the moment it is just illuminated Red on the lower right and does not move or change colour!
Tried looking at the menu but with no success.

Thanks

It's been asked many a time before - hope this helps:


563 (Lighting Pack)
- Orange ambient lighting


4V9 (Excitement Pack)
- Ambient lighting using RGB LEDs
- Exterior door handle white LEDs (puddle illumination)



Both are included in the Pepper pack and above on One and Cooper

The MINI Yours packs also include "light piping" in the door trim.

You can have the ring match mood lights which can be a set colour or will scroll through the rainbow if you have the extended lights package. you can have it match mini excitement (red) or eco (green) or you can have it as a rev counter or to reflect inputs eg altering the temp of the interior or you can turn it off altogether. It's amazingx

Ps you find it in the settings bit. V simple.

Hi Peterg,

That sounds like it's set up to be a rev counter... the red part represents the red line.

To change what the ring shows you can use the settings menu...
Settings > Center Instrument

You can have basic display where the ring does one of about three funtions. The rev counter display is one of the these.

Or you can have event display where the ring reacts when different things happen in the car. You can choose which events it responds to, but it's things like adjusting the volume, changing the AC temperature, approaching a navigation turn, switching driving mode, parking sensors...

Hope that helps...

Thanks Mintmark those are the words they use. I couldn't remember and didn't want to go out to check!

All sorted now. Thanks

It's setup as same colour as ambient lighting now.
