hi
try to play any video through the USB connection but no success, i have the proper y cable, phone i iPhone 6s up-to date and mini connected is also up-to date.
however i just cant get anything to play, music is fine all controls work and album art is displayed.
car is a 2011 cooper s with navigation.
any advice is most welcome
best regards
maxy
Ages ago I had a 2012 Countryman with the media pack. I could play videos with the new style Y cable, mini connected app and the handbrake on.
However, I believe that the new update on the mini connected app does not support video playback. If you could somehow find an old version of the mini connected app then it would work.
I have succeeded to get videos to play via an old iPhone with 30pin (analogue) adaptor. As mentioned the car needs to be stationary and handbrake on unless coded out. Possible different versions of 30 pin cable may not allow video
Video from USB - not possible so I’ve been told. Despite still trying
Video via cradle -(in arm rest) could be possible with the right adaptor but I have had no success
Video via lightening cable (digital) - I have not managed to get this to work with up to date iPhone X
I believe MINI stopped updating things for the R56 so anything after 2012 probably won’t work to maximum potential - rather frustrating !
I hope this helps,
cheers guys think i will need to give up !!
I’m sure that when I bought Rocky (R59 JCW) that I read somewhere that it had been disabled in the R cars due to “safety concerns”.
I had been using “Connected Classic” up until a few days ago and it just would not work. I’ve since deleted it and installed ”Connected” and I’m back up and using Amazon Music again, which is THE main thing that I use it for.
There is still no way that I can find to play videos anywhere though.

I tried just connected but when I launched it asked for the VIN and wouldnt let me register the coupe. So I phoned up mini and they said that only the classic would work with my car. I've had the classic working through dads iPhone 8 but I cant get it to work with my phone but I think USB C is the issueQuote:

When I tried the Classic I just kept getting a message which says “this app needs to be updated” but BMW are not updating it anymore.
I only tried the Connected app by chance and luckily it worked for me.

I'll maybe steal dads iPhone again and have another go. My friend did make a suggest about using a micro USB to USB C connecter and that may work with my phone. But tbh I think the easiest solution is just to buy a phone to leave in the car.Quote:
