Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work

Mini’s infotainment system has a round 9.4-inch display which is charming
The built-in maps on the screen look great for those who stick to first-party software
The CarPlay integration in Mini’s infotainment system is almost perfect with some minor glitches
There is no dedicated button for exiting CarPlay which is a major disappointment for its users

Overall, Mini’s infotainment system is well-designed and better than most other legacy automakers but still needs improvement
