be possible to eject it.<
General malfunctions
The CD players are optimized for operation in
vehicles. They may be more sensitive to
defective CDs than play ers for stationary use.
If a CD can not be played, first check if the CD is
properly inserted.
Humidity
If there is high humidity, the CD or the focusing
lens for the laser beam may get fogged up and
playing the CD may temporarily not be possible.
Malfunctions with individual CDs
If there are malfunctions with individual CDs,
then they may be due to the following causes.
CDs that you burned yourself
Potential problems with home-burned CDs are,
for example, inconsistent data generation and
burning processes, as we ll as low quality or
excessive aging of the blanks that are used.
Only write on the upper surface of CDs with a
writing instrume nt that is suitable for the
purpose.
Damaged CDs
Avoid finger prints as well as dust, scratches and
moisture.
Store CDs in sleeves.
Do not expose CDs to a temperature greater
than 122 7/50 6, elevated humidity or direct
sunlight.
CDs with copy protection
CDs are often provided with copy protection
from the manufacturer. This can result in CDs not
playing or playing back in only a limited fashion.
Care
If necessary, clean the reflecting side of the CD
with a commercially availab le cleaning cloth by
wiping in a straight line from the center
outwards.
USB audio interface*
> iPods/iPhones or USB devices such as MP3
players and USB memory sticks: connect via
the USB audio interface.
> iPhone/mobile phone music players: con-
nection using a snap-in adapter

> Only one iPod/iPhone can be connected to
the vehicle. Output fr om an iPod/iPhone to
the USB audio interface is only possible if
there is no iPhone in the snap-in adapter.
> Popular audio files, such as MP3, AAC and
M3U playlists, can be played. Depending on
the audio file, proper playback can not be
ensured in every case,
such as for bit rates greater than 256 kbit/s.
> Music tracks with inte grated Digital Rights
Management (DRM) cannot be played.
Because of the large number of audio devices on
the market, it can not be ensured that every
device will properly operate in the vehicle.

Overview
The concept
Mobile phones or other external devices, e.g.
audio players, can be connected to the vehicle
via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of
Bluetooth® SIG, Inc.
Your MINI is equipped with a complete mobile
phone preparation. After a suitable mobile
phone is paired with the vehicle once, the
mobile phone can be controlled via the radio,
the buttons
* on the steering wheel, and by
voice
*.
It may be necessary for some functions to be
activated by the mobile phone provider. Only make entries when traffic conditions
permit. Do not hold the mobile phone in
your hand while you are driving; use the hands-
free system instead. If you do not observe this
precaution, your being distracted can endanger
vehicle occupants and other road users. <
Snap-in adapter*
The snap-in adapter, refer to page129, makes it
possible to:
> Accommodate the mobile phone.
> Recharge its battery.
> Connect it to an exte rnal antenna of the
vehicle.
This assures a better network connection
and constant sound quality.
A mobile phone that is connected to the vehicle
should not be operated via the mobile phone
keypad; otherwise, ma lfunctions may occur.
Suitable mobile phones
For precise information as to which mobile
phones and external devices with Bluetooth
interfaces are supported by the mobile phone
preparation, go to ww w.mini.com/connectivity.
