For sure! I believe if you want all the options (like the a/c) you need to get late 2018 and newer. You do need the MINI connected package, so when you are looking at cars make sure you specify this and why you want it to the dealer. Actually, if its a deal breaker, when you are close to buying a car, see if you can add it to the app on your phone! It does take a little for the app to verify and get all the features, so remember that when you do it. Good luck in your car search!!
