Switch off artificial engine sound
The extra sound through the speakers can be switched off for a quieter cabin, or back on. Only possible when it was fitted at the factory.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Only if active sound design is factory-fitted (e.g. JCW / S ALL4 – verify on vehicle order). Countryman U25 (shares the U platform with BMW X1 U11, where BimmerCode lists limited support); no MINI-specific confirmation – check on diagnosis

Ready-to-drive sound
When you start the car it plays a sound once it is ready to drive. You can choose between the default and an alternative tone.
On iDrive 8/8.5/9 and newer software levels we first check whether it is possible.
Condition: Countryman U25 (shares the U platform with BMW X1 U11, where BimmerCode lists limited support); no MINI-specific confirmation – check on diagnosis

Choose the signal tone style
Warnings, parking sensors, indicators and phone get a different tone set, for example the newer BMW tones or a MINI variant.

Speed assistant – one-press off
On new cars the speed assistant (ISA) is on at every start. We look together at the quickest way for you to switch it off yourself, for example via a shortcut.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: Owner's manual describes per-driver personal settings and a steering-wheel button for speed systems

Remember driving profile
The car starts in the last chosen driving profile instead of always in Comfort or Eco.
According to sources, Go-Kart mode cannot be chosen as the default.
Condition: MINI OS9 software level that includes the default-mode setting (software from early 2025); older software may need an update first
