Smile New Owner

Yesterday I purchased a 2012 Pepper White with black roof coupe, 6 speed. This my first non S I am pleasantly surprised with its performance. Much larger luggage area than I anticipated and a blast to drive.

I have one perplexing issue, I do not have the pass key to pair my phone. Does MINI use a universal code like BMW or do I need to contact MINIusa?

Thank You

It's either 0000 or it's displayed on the car during pairing. It's a while since I did mine. I have a 2012 Roadster without Connected.

Excellent! Congrats!!!

If the above passcodes don't work, try the last four digits of your cell number.

Here's the 2012 Coupe Owner's Manual with Mini Connected:

Also, just in case, don't assume you have bluetooth just because you have steering wheel controls. I had to add bluetooth to mine, and I had the HK radio with steering wheel controls.

Enter the last 7 characters of your VIN here: http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

This will tell you what options your car came with from the factory, just double check that bluetooth is on the list.

Thank you everyone.

Definitely has Bluetooth, I didn't have a passkey. I'll try the 0000.

Nice Coupe! Here's your first accessory.... It would look great on the PW car. I just put a pair on mine last weekend. Got em for $90 on ebay WITH the carrier pieces shipped which is a good deal. 10 minute install.

Congrats on the new R58.



" Does MINI use a universal code like BMW or do I need to contact MINIusa? "

Just enter any passkey and then enter the same on you phone to Pair. Same as BMW.
