You can pair up to four devices simultaneously via Bluetooth® in your MINI with a MINI Controller and MINI system with a menu with displays in the form of tiles (ID6). Of these, you can use two devices as a telephone and two devices for music playback or with Apple CarPlay. Under "My MINI" > "System settings > "Mobile devices" > "Connect new device", you can select whether you only want to use your connected mobile device as a "telephone", to play music files from your mobile device with "Bluetooth audio", to display apps from your mobile device in the vehicle with the "Apps" function or to use selected smartphone apps with "Apple CarPlay". To do this, select the following in the MINI system when you log in with your mobile device for the first time: "My MINI" > "System settings > "Mobile devices" > "Connect new device" > "Telephone", "Bluetooth audio", "Apps" or "Apple CarPlay" > search for Bluetooth® devices on the mobile device > confirm that the control numbers match. Apple CarPlay supports the following functions, for example: Phone calls, message transmission, favourites, FaceTime Audio, music player ("Now Playing"), streaming services for music, Apple Music® Radio, iTunes, selected third-party apps such as Amazon Music and Audible, navigation app and Siri®. MINI recommends activating all functions and allowing access to your smartphone's contacts for maximum comfort. Further information about pairing mobile devices via Bluetooth® can be found in the Driver's Guide app or in the Owner's Handbook for your MINI. Please note: To use Apple CarPlay, your MINI requires the option "Connected Navigation" (SA 7GH), "Connected Navigation Plus" (SA 7GK) or "Apple CarPlay preparation" or "smartphone integration" (SA 6CP) ex works, and Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi must also be active on your mobile device and in the vehicle. You can also select Apple CarPlay later under "My MINI" > "System settings" > "Mobile devices" > "Settings". To use the "Apps" function, the MINI App must be installed on your smartphone.
