The Intelligent Personal Assistant in your MINI with Operating System 9 is a personal voice assistant that makes it easier for you to operate your vehicle and provides you with a wide range of information that goes beyond vehicle operation. The Intelligent Personal Assistant responds to the activation words "Hello", "Hey MINI", "Hi MINI", "Hello MINI" or "OK MINI". You can change the settings of the Intelligent Personal Assistant.

    • The following functional requirements apply to the Intelligent Personal Assistant:
      • A system language that is supported by the Intelligent Personal Assistant must be set via the MINI system.
      • Before using the Intelligent Personal Assistant for the first time, you may need to download the appropriate language package.

      • ›General information on voice control‹: Have information on the operating principle of voice control read out to you.

      • ›Help‹: Have tips and example commands for voice control read out to you.

    • In MINI models with MINI Operating System 9 (from 11/2025, except Ireland and the United Kingdom), you can also choose between a male and a female voice.
