Still waiting to pick up the Cooper S Clubman, Just woundering how the parking sensors on the back work. Is it audio or does up come up on the navigation screen like the Bmw's??

Hi Cooper18,
If you've got the nav then it has some great bong noises which come out of the appropriate rear speaker (very neat) and at the same time it shows a cool overhead picture of the car and some radar kind of graphics. The radar bits first show green far from the car, then as you get closer it turns to orange, then red with full bongs at the same time. It's pretty accurate and can see curbs too. The only problem you have to remember is that when you're fully backed-up you can't open the rear doors.

Very cool feature - we like it.

Hey, thanks for that video - it's helpful to someone like myself who has never seen the MINI Nav, etc....and at least it gives a feel for what I'm missing.
