Whether it’s going on road trips, driving to work or zipping to the shops, there’s bound to be stressful thoughts running through your mind.
I mean, you can’t help but feel anxious at the thought of taking a wrong turn, forgetting where you’ve parked your car, or not making it to a meeting on time.
Heck, even wondering if you’ve locked your car or not can be downright nerve-racking.
Thankfully, MINI has created the perfect app to ease those woes
It’s called MINI Connected, and it’s a godsend for those who can’t deal with car-related anxiety.
All you have to is download the app, connect the smartphone to your MINI, and bob’s your uncle, you’re ready to hit the road.
As you can see in the above image, the interface is simple, easy to use and hassle-free.
The app earns your preferences over time and allows you to do all sorts of goodies, such as:
- Locking or unlocking your MINI, checking the status of windows and doors, and activating the climate control, anytime and anywhere
- Finding destinations, making for an easier navigating experience.
- Locating your car via a map if you’ve forgotten where you’ve parked it.
- Scheduling trips and being alerted when to leave based on traffic.
Hot day? Crack the aircon before you get back into the car, which would make me feel pretty 007. There’s more:
- Getting walking directions from your parking space to your final destination.
- Locating your belongings with Find Mate.
- Importing destinations from your calendar or other apps.
- Controlling the app’s functions by talking to it, so that you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the steering wheel.
That’s a mighty fine virtual assistant you’ve got there, friend.
