2007 Mini Cooper to feature iDrive? OMG!
New navigation system to be installed on the redesigned MINI will include BMW’s infamous iDrive computer interface controller, whether you hate it or not.
The interface will be slightly different than that present in the ‘bigger’ Bimmers.
There will be only three tabs on the main screen: “entertainment”, “communication” and “navigation”, and a link for set-up. Fortunately, climate control will be managed via the standard interface.
BMW will also offer a new voice interface, to be activated by a dedicated button on the steering wheel.
There is nice set of photos on the source site that will give you some impression on the MINI’s future interface.
