my question is that they finally announced that android will be supported for the connected package....when will it come out and will it be avail for current owners of the system...i really dont want to have to spend a boat load of money on a icrap device just to activate the programs...
The information MINI USA released yesterday only mentioned the F56 and said the MINI Connected App and MINI Connected-ready Apps supplied by third-party providers will work with both the iPhone and Android phones. I can't believe MINI will let its other models go very long without connectivity for both operating systems.
Just took a closer look at the pictures of the dash. From the left they look to be back up sensor and auto on/off. Then the starter, then DSC then something else. I don't see front or rear fog anyplace. :confused5:
there has been talk for some time about android connectivity...in fact BMW Connected uses android...and the systems are essentially the same now so it stands to reason there isnt alot of hard work to figure this out...in fact most of android dev's could have solved this in a weekend...10 to 1 says all they do is just port the apple app over to android...all the app is a way to turn on the data connection and aggregate all of the phones systems and slave them to the dash
More likely radar based than cameras Jim. One less thing to pay attention to while one drives. I think paying attention makes for better drivers, but what do I know.
The FAA is looking into pilots using the auto everything too much. They believe pilots are losing their edge & flying skills are declining.
