Frequently Asked Questions
Which F57 trim levels does this software cover?
All third-generation Mini Convertible F57 variants built between 2015 and 2017 are included: One, Cooper, Cooper D, Cooper S, Cooper SD, and the John Cooper Works Convertible. Both left- and right-hand drive configurations are documented throughout.
Does the manual cover the B38 three-cylinder engine found in the base Cooper?
Yes. The B36/B38 1.2–1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder is fully documented alongside the larger B46/B48 2.0L four-cylinder units used in Cooper S and JCW models, including torque specs, service intervals, and fault-finding procedures specific to each engine code.
Are the convertible roof hydraulics and electronics covered in detail?
Yes. The software includes complete procedures for the F57’s powered soft-top system — hydraulic pump diagnostics, motor replacement, latch adjustment, roof control module coding, and the associated wiring diagrams with pin-out data and wire color codes.
What format is the manual?
This is professional OEM Mini dealer software — not a PDF. It runs on Windows (XP through 11) as well as Mac and Linux, and features searchable databases, zoom-capable interactive wiring diagrams, integrated torque specifications, and special tool requirements, matching exactly what authorized Mini dealership technicians use.
