    Not the error codes but the actual software that controls the engine.

    Looking at an 02 Mini today and the original software is poor according to feedback, just want to check its been updated.

    If it helps my BMW indy uses Autologic which apparently is BMW approved diagnostic software. It also covers MINI too.

    The software doesn't have a name as such, but is updated through either a GT1 or an ISIS system. I do a fair bit of work on MINIs, what exactly is wrong with your car?

    Sorry, just re-read your post. What feedback are you reading? A 02 MINI shouldn't really have any software issues.

    From:
    http://www.motoringfile.com/mini-r50r53-buyers-guide/

    Engine management software was what you could call a “work in progress” for cars produced in the first half of 2002. Luckily this is something easily upgraded by any dealer and it’s something that should have been taken care of during the warranty and free maintenance period. Updating the software should eliminate 98% of these issues.

    Oh jesus pay no attention to that guide on Motoringfile in regards to the software. Do a search on here instead - I've written previously about what to look for in a MINI, especially the early ones. Also, have a look at http://miniclub.ie - it's the Irish forum for new MINIs and has a specialist or two on boards giving advice.
