Mini plans to demonstrate several new in-car systems at the Geneva auto show in early March, including Mini Connected, which lets iPhone owners plug their handsets in to enhance the car’s infotainment system, according to Car and Driver.
Details are still a little unclear. But the general idea is that Mini Connected will enable hands-free iPhone use, as well as connect the Mini itself to the Internet. The system will come preprogrammed with Internet radio stations from around the world, which will stream through the car’s stereo via the iPhone’s data connection. Drivers will be able to control the system via a joystick mounted on the center console.
Mini will also demonstrate Mission Control, which will show different sets of information to the driver depending on real-time situations on the road, according to a separate Motor Trend report.
