MINI Connected runs QNX

Well, not that I was too interested about it, nor thinking about it, just accidentally stumbled over the MINI Connected system update: UPD01005.bin, a nice, plain tar archive:

SWIP_00000B97_003_005_005.xml
SWUP_00000B98_002_006_005.bin
SWUP_00000B98_003_005_005.bin
SWUP_00000B99_001_012_000.bin
SWUP_00000B99_003_005_004.bin

Which in turn are similar nice tar archives as well:

beschreibungstabelle.sgbm
Phone-2.6.5.tar
beschreibungstabelle.sgbm
Phone-3.5.5.tar
beschreibungstabelle.sgbm
MME-1.12.0.tar
post_deinst.scr
post_inst.scr
beschreibungstabelle.sgbm
MME-3.5.4.tar

Which -you can guess by now from the file extension- are nice tar archives again:

    Nice finding!

    Will be interesting to see if MINI can retrofit MINI Connected to take advantage of Apple’s CarPlay, which is supposed to be compatible with the QNX platform.

    Hey Fernando,

    knowing how car manufactures squeeze every possible penny out for service and replacement parts I have the feeling we will only see that in new models, … of course also depending no the Apple license requirements for certification, …

    Unless someone manages to flash such a potential new model’s update on the older car entertainment systems, …
