MINI Cooper Bluetooth

We have 5 Blackberry Tours in our family. We tried to pair them in our 2007 MINI Cooper bluetooth. My son's phone seemed to work fine. My wife's also seemed to work. But when I tried to pair mine, as soon as it was paired, the phone display in the car showed "connection active" (as if I was in the middle of a call). A timer was running showing the time of the call. There is a button with a picture of a phone that underneath shows "end" (which I presume is to end the call) but when you push it, nothing happens. I think there is a button to push for keypad, which will come on, but anytime you press enter, it flips back to the "connection active" screen. This active connection shows anytime my phone is in the car. So the only thing I can do is disconnect and disable the bluetooth.
MINI is no help, because this phone is not on its "compatible" list, even though my other Blackberry Tours (Sprint) seem to work.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks.

You need to do a "hard" reset of your phone. Take the battery out while it is on. First delete the phone from the mini paired menu, and delete the mini from the phone connection. Then do the hard reset. After you have done that, follow the mini directions to pair the phone again. You need to put the four digit password into the phone before you put the number into the mini when prompted to do so.
Once done, the phones pair perfectly with the mini, and numerous phones can be paired with it.

IPhone 4S stopped pairing with my 2007 Mini Cooper 4S

I'm an IT guy of 15 years. I have been on several deployment teams for PDA, then Smart Phones. Recently my iPhone 4S stopped pairing with my 2007 Mini Cooper 4S. I went through the gauntlet trying to get this issue solved including but not limited to the following.
Trying to pair my wife's brand new iPhone 4S to the same Mini Cooper! (DID NOT WORK EITHER!)
Resetting network settings. (Did not work)
Wiping my iphone 4 and restoring it. (Did not work)
Called Apple support and they offered me a new phone. (A new phone is not going to fix the problem if my wife's brand new iPhone 4S will not pair either)
Successfully paired another phone (Droid) to my car.
My 15 inch MacBook Pro can see my iPhone 4S but my iPhone cannot see my Macbook Pro either!
There is a huge amount of complaints on the internet regarding the latest bluetooth update with IOS 5.1.1, people are having the same issue with bluetooth dropping pairing with their automobiles!
Apple let it slip on the phone that they are aware of this issue.
My phone worked fine until IOS update 5.1.1 I may try to restore back to an earlier IOS.
My phone worked for a few months with bluetooth and was a little flaky since getting the 4S it worked much much better with the iPhone 4. When I got the iPhone 4S that's when spotty issues with the bluetooth became noticible including the system dropping on calls and reverting back to the handset vs the speaker system. I had to apologize to several customers while on the phone. I thought I was doing something wrong, but realize now that this phone has issues with the bluetooth.
In closing I would like to simply say that if this iPhone 4S does have hardware problems then Apple is going to have a lot of ticked off people because it's a hardware problem with the design in general and they will have an iPhone recall or suit on their hands. Because I can assure you this is a bluetooth problem with every iPhone 4S, it's not a coincidence that my wife's iPhone 4S with the same 5.1.1 IOS will not pair with my car either. So for Apples sake I hope this iPhone bluetooth issue can be fixed with an update! Best of luck Apple. I'm not going to beat up on you guys because I am diehard Apple and I love your products, but please fix this issue. We have phone ordinance laws in various burbs in Cleveland and they will fine you for talking on your handset.

Well the good news is all that fell on deaf ears we are all users here not Apple
The clue is in the User Communities title
It is not the responsibility of Apple to ensure EVERY item in the world is compatible
which is why goes to great lengths to share iOS changes and hardware with any "Developer"
that is interested Including BMW/Mini and every other Auto manufacturer
Have you called in at your Mini Dealer to check if they have a Bluetooth update
If they haven't ask why not ,technology is moving forward daily
and clearly if they do not keep up you will have problems
Expect a charge it is Apple that gives free updates to their customers

Aux cable for Mini Cooper too short for Iphone.

Just purchased a Mini Cooper and the AUX cord that connects the Iphone to the Bluetooth is too short to reach my vehicial mount. I need a longer cord or an extention. Anyone have any ideas?

You said it was an aux cable. nothing you said indicated it was proprietary in any way. If it is not an aux cable, but a dock cable, those are usually proprietary to the auto manufacturer. If they don't have anything, try e-bay, but beware the cheap chinese junk out there.

Play music in mini cooper

Best way to play music from my iPhone 4 in my 2011 Mini Cooper?

What do you mean - "Best way", I should think they all work. I don't have a mini cooper, but I imagine it would connect by bluetooth, USB or AUX. I would recommend bluetooth, but again, I dont know if Mini Cooper's support bluetooth.
You could always just play it from your iPhone itself if you're not too fussed about the sound quality.

Address book problem (6110 Navigator in Mini Coope...

Anyone,
I just got the 6110 Navigator and are having trouble browsing contacts from my car's built-in bluetooth connection. (2007 Mini Cooper S. Bluetooth connection probably same as BMW)
This worked fine with my previous phone (Motorola SLVR), while now it tells me to "Please wait" (which I tried for 20 minutes)
Any ideas? I suspect this might be a protocol incompatibility issue, but I am not sure if I should search for a fix for the car or the phone...
I'd appreciate any feedback giving a clue about what to do.
Regards,
Roar Fredriksen

I thought I saw somewhere that you could run an application on the phone that somehow hijacked the bluetooth connection and worked as an interface between the phone's address book and the handsfree set in the car. Was I only dreaming, or have anyone else heard of this?

That is the software. It did not work with my Nokia E50 and my BMW 3 series (1 week old).

Boot Mac Mini w/Bluetooth without Keyboard/Mouse attachted

Hi,
I´m trying to boot a Mac Mini with Bluetooth without any Keyboard/Mouse attachted to it.
It doesn´t work. Every time the Mac stucks at looking for Bluetooth devices.
Running 10.4.11
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
seb

already tried this one!
That would have been helpful to know from the beginning so we don't waste our time with things you've already tried. What else have you already tried to troubleshoot this situation?
Maybe you need to delete that preference file, as it's clearly not working correctly? This file is not in your own user's home folder, but in the root "Library" folder in this path:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Put that file in the Trash, restart, log back in, delete the trash, and uncheck the option again in the System Preferences. Does it stick now? Or have you tried that already too?

Mini Cooper, iPhone 5 iOS 7 and adapter

We have a problem with the iPhone 5 adapter in our Mini Cooper. Audio and Mini Connected is not working.
At BMW and Mini they told me I need to wait for a new model of this adapter.
When can I buy this compatible adapter?

Hiya Daniel,
Presume you have media on your countryman as you have the MINI connected app going ?
Firstly, as daft as it may sound but is both the USB and jack plug fully pushed in to the connectors in the MINI, even if the jack plug is not fully in will prevent the audio coming through.
Are you using a non media cable in a media car?
My cable with lightning connector arrived from BMW. Final cost was £51 with a bit of discount.
The connector works excellently, not convinced it improved the sound quality much, but I think it is better than using the lightning adaptor.

Nano 7G + MINI Cooper 2006 = No charging?

I have a 2006 MINI Cooper S with the standard (circa 2006) MINI/BMW IPOD G3 interface kit, so there's a 30pin iPod docking connector in the glovebox. My trusty iPod 4G Photo (60GB) gave up the ghost, so I got a 7G Nano to replace it, along with the Apple 30pin-to-Thunderbolt adapter, so it could connect to the MINI interface.
The MINI head end will (usually) recognize the Nano (oddly, it will show up somtimes as CD7, and I have to manually re-start the Nano everytime I start the car), but it's definitely not charging it.
Am I doing something wrong, or did I buy the wrong thing? I just tested my iPhone 4S and when connected to the MINI adapter, it noted something along the lines of "this accessory will not charge this device." The Nano 7G doesn't say as much, but it's clear it's not charging it.
Help?

For idiots like me, this is what you need to get back to charging:

Mac mini mini cooper ice cream truck-upgrade to iphone?

have a mac mini PPC g4 installed in a mini cooper ice cream truck.
the lcd touchscreen and carnetix power supply kinda suck.
I'm using the touchscreen as a point of sale inventory system to keep track of stock/slaes, but screen is not bright enough to overcome daylight readability.
I'm thinking of swapping out the 7" monitor with a iphone or ipod touch with some sort of point of sale application. I'd like to then just use the mac mini as an external drive for the iphone. is that too crazy? have i finally gone over the edge in modifications? is there such an application available?

In addition to glare films, you might also try a monitor hood, a la these:

I doubt that you'll find one premade for a 7" monitor, but it wouldn't be hard to construct and mount one with some cardboard and velcro/double-sided tape.
The only actual point-of-sale app I can find in the App Store is Ring It Up:

Here's the URL to it in the iTunes Store: RingItUp.
There's also a Lite version, though I don't know what the differences are.

What does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini through Bluetooth do

what does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini through Bluetooth do

There is nothing else you can do as regards the Mac. Bluetooth between a Mac and an iOS device works only for tethering so you can share the iOS device's cell connection. Otherwise, Bluetooth in an iPad is for connecting to peripherals such as headsets, in-car systems, and keyboards.

Mac Mini compatible bluetooth headset

Does anyone know if any bluetooth headset is compatible with the Mac mini?

Bluetooth is a standard so any should be. I've not had any problems with the three I've tried with my Macs - all headsets worked fine for Skype calls.

Mini Cooper not working with Lightning 30 pin Adaptor for iPhone5

I have a 2012 Mini Cooper with a "standard" stereo. I used to plug my iPhone 4 into the cord provided by Mini and it played my music & podcasts. Now, with the Lightning to 30 pin Adapter to connect my iPhone5, my music is now only coming out of 1 speaker and the phone information will not appear. I do not have Mini Connect. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions? Thanks.

That happened to me too. Check your Y-cable. Make sure the 3.5mm cable is fully connected to the auxilliary jack on your 2012 MINI Cooper. You may also want to slightly twist the cable connections in the middle box part of the Y-cable if the first solution does not work for you. Good luck!

Tablet with Mac mini with bluetooth?

Hi,
I was going to use an iPad with my Mac mini using blue tooth but I learnt I would have to also use a blue tooth keyboard etc to use it.
Is there any other brand of tablet that I could connect to my Mac mini with bluetooth without using another blue tooth device?

I was going to use an iPad with my Mac mini using blue tooth but I learnt I would have to also use a blue tooth keyboard etc to use it.
This makes no sense. The use of a Bluetooth keyboard has nothing to do with the iPad. You may use either a USB keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard. Period. The iPad connects to the computer by USB for syncing and updating. But just having an iPad connected does not limit you to a Bluetooth keyboard.
Is there any other brand of tablet that I could connect to my Mac mini with bluetooth without using another blue tooth device?
What did you want to do with the tablet that needs Bluetooth connectivity? Other than backing up my apps and syncing my iTunes library, my iPad is hardly ever connected to my Mac. It gets used independently of my computer through it's Wi-Fi connection. (Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Google Calendar Sync, etc.) One of the few apps I have that connect the iPad to the Mac is to turn the iPad into a large trackpad for the Mac. That uses a Wi-Fi connection, so still no need for Bluetooth. I admit, it would be nice to sync my iTunes library over Bluetooth, similar to my Windows Mobile phone to my PC, but what do you need to do over Bluetooth?
