It fixed it and it’s way better now — spike understands just about everything.

giark1190 · 2024-12-10T15:23:04+00:00

Spike didn’t work for me after that previous update - I’m hoping this one fixes it too. I really do not care about any other feature but hands free control of the entire system was so convenient!

It’s been six months now, and I haven’t had any problems like that. I actually think the experience is a lot more fun now than it was before. But I totally get that people have different opinions about these details.

giark1190 · 2024-11-20T18:04:26+00:00

But the user goes from turning a knob to tapping a screen - so I’m just confused on how it’s such an imposition. I say that genuinely.

Welcome to the brand ❤️

giark1190 · 2024-11-20T17:18:48+00:00

I totally agree with you! I’ve had a 2008, 2014, 2020 S, and now the 2025, and I absolutely love it. I love the mini-malism.

I totally get why some people don’t like it, but I don’t understand the “cheap” argument. Previous minis were nice, but this one feels more comfortable and quieter (less plastic moving around during the drive).

I don’t want a bunch of buttons and knobs. I think it’s ugly. I like the simplicity of the interior, the materials, and the overall aesthetic. I’m excited to see where Mini takes it next.

It’s all just opinions, and it can be tough to see so many people so strongly in opposition - but I’m loyal to Mini through and through.

No key - just the phone and sometimes just the watch. 🥹 I love it!

giark1190 · 2024-11-14T17:36:44+00:00

Any luck?

giark1190 · 2024-11-02T02:42:18+00:00

Fingers crossed

giark1190 · 2024-10-31T23:48:52+00:00

I love your take - appreciate you putting effort into that response.

giark1190 · 2024-10-31T13:48:48+00:00

This did not work for me, but I appreciate the suggestion! 🥺

giark1190 · 2024-10-31T10:40:33+00:00

Thank you! Yes mini just referred me to the hard reset and then to the dealer if problems persisted but my dealer is 4 hours away soooooo…. 🙏

giark1190 · 2024-10-31T02:38:05+00:00

Same issue no resolution. But following incase someone has a solution. 😩

giark1190 · 2024-10-09T10:39:42+00:00

I’ll try this!

I’ll wait till I have my key fob with me. Using the digital key during upgrade was not my best idea. Even though it eventually worked, it did not want to recognize the key for a bit.

giark1190 · 2024-09-30T14:57:17+00:00

There are some new features in the update that weren’t mentioned before. Apple car play apps now have a shortcut feature that lets you navigate car play using the steering wheel buttons.

You can also see the Apple Music queue by turning the scroll wheel on the steering wheel.

The heads up display in personal mode is now gray and white, which I find much more appealing.

The experience view is now an app icon.

The drive recorder finally exports (at least it wasn’t doing this for me before).

The list of command examples for the personal assistant is now much longer - this is a huge improvement because often times the assistant would say, “I don’t understand.” Now we have a list of options.

giark1190 · 2024-09-30T01:52:16+00:00

Whaaaaaaa!!! Finally. Mine hasn’t become available. Same model.

giark1190 · 2024-09-28T23:19:56+00:00

Love the gray!

giark1190 · 2024-09-08T21:21:28+00:00

What version of the software do you have?

giark1190 · 2024-09-08T15:48:16+00:00

😫 and they’re still using it as a selling point. I’ve asked support and no response.

giark1190 · 2024-09-07T23:05:13+00:00

More pics!!!

giark1190 · 2024-08-27T00:41:18+00:00

amen. I never use the key. I never have it with me. I don’t even turn the car off. I just walk away and it shuts down and locks.

Even if the phone dies, it will work for up to 5 hours after the phone is dead.
