One of the menu in MINI Connected is Vehicle Info. It provides Onboard info, Trip computer, and Vehicle status. Onboard info lists travel range with current fuel level, average fuel consumption (MPG), and average speed. Trip computer lists departure time, trip duration, distance traveled, fuel consumption (MPG) and average speed for the trip. Vehicles status gives you visual notification of engine oil level, front and rear brake pads, front and rear tire pressure status, vehicle check (engine check?) and brake fluid level. Trip information can also be found in trip computer in tachometer information screen. (you must like orange color!).
All quite nifty stuff, but I do wish they provide more! Perhaps turbo boost gauge, engine oil temperature info and others. and I am quite not happy about MINIMALISM analyser and Mission Control is only available with expensive cradle $130 bucks or something like that - I am on the fence whether to get it or not.
Screen captures after the jump.
Great post Aaron, I did not get the connected option but now i kinda wish i did.. do you know if any of these functions are available on the normal system computer?
