COMPATIBLE HANDSETS

Before the complaint can be addressed, the particular handset must be verified for compatibility with the SBX Bluetooth system installed in vehicle. To confirm whether or not the handset is compatible, visit www.wireless4mini.com for a list of handsets that have passed MINI testing for compatibility. Note the following disclaimer on this web site:

^ "This list is provided for reference only. The mobile phones listed here have passed compatibility tests as of the date of testing and meet or exceed minimum standards established by MINI. The list is not a warranty for phone performance or functionality. MINI makes no guarantees or warrantees as to the performance of each phone while connected to your MINI via Bluetooth Wireless Technology. Furthermore, software releases by MINI, the phone supplier or the wireless carrier dated after testing might alter compatibly results. While many phones are offered with Bluetooth Wireless Technology, not all phones support the necessary profiles to work with your MINI. MINI does not guarantee availability or functionality with all wireless carriers. Functions such as synchronizing the address book and transferring a call into or out of the vehicle may function differently from phone to phone".
