The Remote 360 option allows the MINI App to view the area around the parked Mini Cooper. An interior camera provides a view of the interior. In addition, the Snapshot function offers the opportunity to capture shared moments in a photo and upload it directly to the smartphone via WiFi-Direct.
Another interesting feature is the MINI Digital Key Plus option, which also uses the smartphone to provide a convenient and personalized in-car experience. In this case, the smartphone acts as a key, enabling the car to be opened automatically.
The welcome projection of the front and rear lights begins when the driver is within three meters of the car; the doors are unlocked when the driver is within one and a half meters. The digital key can be transferred to other users and replaces the traditional car key for easier car sharing.
As we reported in a previous Mini-related article, the new electric Mini Cooper will be available in two versions: Cooper E and Cooper SE. Production of the new EV is scheduled to begin later this year. Prices for the Cooper SE start at 32,900 Euros, while the Cooper S will be available from 36,900 Euros.
