Munich. MINI has further increased the range of
in-car online services. The integration of the streaming service
provided by music-on-demand specialist Deezer as part of MINI
Connected is yet another step forward, allowing Apple iPhone owners to
create their ultimate driving playlist from Deezer’s 25 million strong
track list.
The Deezer app is available free of charge from the Apple app
store and has been modified to make it "MINI Connected
ready" and convenient to use inside any MINI with the MINI
Connected option. Deezer gives MINI drivers in-car access to 25
million songs at a bit rate of up to 320 Kbps, as well as access to
the service’s social media functions.
Using Deezer in-car is secure and intuitive using the MINI
joystick, steering wheel buttons and high-resolution colour display of
the on-board monitor, where functions are displayed in the familiar
MINI style. The car must be fitted with the Radio MINI Visual Boost or
the MINI navigation system to be able to use the service. In addition,
the customer must have booked the option MINI Connected. Online
connection via iPhone then provides access to a virtually unlimited
audio program from the web during travel.
The addition of Deezer to the MINI Connected line-up is yet
another example of MINI’s future-proof and intelligent interconnection
between driver, automobile and outside world. The new service
supplements others already available, such as the MINI Connected web
radio function, apps for AUPEO!, Stitcher, Facebook, Twitter and
foursquare, Google Search and Send to car, the ability to receive RSS
newsfeeds and to use iPhone calendar functions. The MINI Connected App
also includes functions, which are unique to MINIs such as Driving
Excitement, Mission Control, Dynamic Music and MINIMALISM Analyser.
By extending the range of services for use with MINI Connected,
the British manufacturer of premium small cars continues to strengthen
its leading role in the field of modern connectivity. And developments
are advancing all the time: innovative features will be added to the
MINI Connected App on a regular basis, and the range of MINI Connected
ready Apps is constantly growing, too. With each free update MINI
Connected customers can therefore be sure of benefiting from the very
latest developments in this field - both now and in the future.
