Maximizing Your MINI: Secrets to Unlocking Its Hidden Capabilities

[DimON]

Modern MINIs have more technology packed into them than ever before — but much of it sits quietly beneath the surface of OS9, MINI’s new operating system. In our latest video, Maximizing Your MINI, we take a deep dive into the features and settings that can completely transform your driving experience. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a new Cooper or Countryman, this guide is about uncovering the hidden tools that make your MINI smarter, safer, and more personal.

OS9 represents a major leap for MINI. Built on the same foundation as BMW’s latest iDrive system, it’s designed to blend digital innovation with the playful character MINI is known for. But unless you dig through its layers, many of its best capabilities stay buried. This video does the work for you — showing step by step how to tailor everything from driving dynamics to driver assistance, connectivity, and even digital personalization.

We start with Driving Settings, exploring how to fine-tune throttle response, steering, and assistance levels to suit your style. Then we move into Safety & Warnings, Speed Limit Assist, and Distance Control — tools that can make everyday driving smoother and safer when set up properly. You’ll also learn how Automatic Lane Change and Assisted Driving Plus work together to reduce fatigue on longer trips, and how Route Control and Lane Guidance help you stay confidently on course.

The video also breaks down the smaller but equally powerful features hidden in menus and submenus: CarPlay tips for better integration, Assisted Parking tricks for tighter spaces, and even how to adjust Steering Wheel Feedback for a more connected feel.

Once you’ve optimized how your MINI drives, we move into its digital world. From Digital Personalization and MINI Connected Plus to the MINI App Store, we show how to activate and manage subscriptions, enhance navigation with MINI Maps Extended, and even explore entertainment options like in-car gaming. You’ll also discover hidden gems such as Doors & Windows Automation, Hill Descent Control, and the Personal Assistant, which can turn voice control into something genuinely useful.

Whether you’re new to OS9 or simply want to unlock every feature your MINI offers, this video is your roadmap.
