MotoringFile reports that the "MINI Connected" option, which adds a new 6.5” hi-resolution screen (the same as on the 2011 Nav system), Comfort Bluetooth with Smartphone prep, a Combox control box (interface the iPhone with the car), Voice recognition, and a joystick controller to access all features just as the MINI Navigation uses, can be requested in September orders and will be available in November builds, with cars with the option showing up at dealers around November or December.
