    • @DArias
      @DArias  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The raise up feature actually gets programmed into the car with software ! But the cheapest and easiest way to get things done is buy the obd2 system called “Carista” and you can make so many different changes to the car from lighting brightness so having the windows go up and down with the remote plus it’s super cheap and make sure you learn so many different features that are hidden in our cars that you would have never known!

    • @DArias

      Usually rotors show some rust when the car has been sitting a couple of days not being driven or when it rains or snows it can show as well tbh best thing to do would be just drive the car to brush off that layer of rust that shows ..as long as there’s no grinding noises or shuttering in the brakes due to it, it’s not a problem usually

      Make sure all the accessories go on for about 3 seconds then pop the key out and go to start it right away. If not you might have to trigger it by starting the car then turning it off quickly and then doing it. People have told me after starting it then taking the key out and pushing the button it has allowed them to do it the normal way from there on out

    Awesome beard man!!!... Also cool video. I just bought a 2013 R56 back in December 2018. I also have a 2014 countryman... I became addicted to minis after purchasing my countryman back in 2014 lol. But on the R56 I discovered that secret compartment on accident and thought I'd broken something at first lol. I have both of my minis coded. I also have the one touch sunroof feature coded so that I don't have to hold the button until it opens or closes completely. I love it! I have the mini connected on both cars too, and purchased an interface device to install a backup camera and also to cast videos and stuff to the screen via my chrome cast or just mirroring my phone. It's pretty neat. The repair part are super expensive like you mentioned but I'm so greatful to live next to an amazing mechanic lol. I purchase the parts and he fixes it for a fraction of what the dealership would charge. So, if you get a used mini get that sucka check thoroughly before buying... I had an oil leak... Ugh... But I love my little mini. Awesome video man.

So my car looks like an eighteen wheeler coming down the road lol lol... I'm thinking about adding racing stripes and driving lights to the R56 and driving lights. I'm not really sure. I look forward to more videos from you man... Especially tips and tricks when it comes to thinks like knowing when the clutch is going out, HOW TO WORK THE HEATER lol I still can't figure it out lol. I have the digital A/C but I just can't figure it out... Should I have the a/c button lit when I turn on the heat or not? Lol. Also after driving the car how long do you wait before you turn it off. I'm reading places where the car is supposed to rest before turning it off. But yeah man... Cool cars.

    I’ve got a Carly connected, I coded my 2008 to when I hold the block button the windows close and so does the sunroof. It’s the feature I use pretty much everyday 😂. I’ve had my mini 1 and half years and I learn new stuff about it all the time.

      DArias_ yeah the Carly is really good. Tad expensive but worth it, I’ve done quite a few little things with mine, it’s just something good to have for the car also, so you can do self diagnostics if you get an engine light or something. Totally worth it.

    How reliable are the R56? Thinking of getting one

    • @DArias
      @DArias  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They can be reliable as long as you keep up on maintenance. Now my recommendation is get the r56 between 11-13 which comes with the n18 engine which basically corrected all the major issues the n14 has had. Now if you decided to get a 1st gen r56 with the n14 make sure it has had its timing chain services done because they suffer from timing chain issues and they also have a weak HPFP. Just make sure you know what you’re buying 👍🏽

      Just make sure to get regular service maintenance records so you know that the car was well maintained also check for supercharger services as well a lot of people don’t service the super charger and such which will cause it to fail especially when they don’t change the supercharger oil. Then make sure to check for the typical oil or coolant leaks etc. also if you’re getting a manual make sure the clutch is in good shape because clutch jobs in minis are very pricey!
