Hi there! I see your weather app on the MINI app for your 2025 Mini S has stopped working. Let's get this sorted out together. To start, could you let me know if you've noticed any other MINI app functions not working, or if it’s just the weather app? Also, are you connected to a stable internet network on your phone?

Meanwhile, a good quick fix for some MINI app issues is to uninstall the app and reinstall it fresh—this has resolved similar problems reported in Canada for other MINI models recently. After reinstalling, log back in and check if the weather app appears and updates.

If that doesn’t help, another tip that’s worked for some users with 2025 Minis is to unlock the car using your key card or key fob and then drive it for about 5 minutes; sometimes this helps re-establish connections between the car and the app functions, including remote features like weather updates.

Would you like me to guide you step-by-step through uninstalling and reinstalling the app first? Or have you tried that already? Let me know, and we’ll take it from there!

How do you uninstall and reinstall the weather app

Thanks for asking! Just to clarify, is the weather app you're referring to part of your MINI Connected app on your Windows device (like the in-car or companion app), or is it a standalone weather app on your phone or computer? MINI typically bundles features like weather updates inside the MINI Connected app rather than a separate app.

If it is within the MINI Connected app, you usually cannot uninstall just the weather part independently—it comes integrated. Instead, you would uninstall and reinstall the entire MINI Connected app to refresh all features.

Since you're on Windows, here's a simple way to uninstall and reinstall the MINI Connected app:

1. Click the Start button on your Windows 10 PC.
2. Go to Settings (gear icon) > Apps > Apps & features.
3. Scroll through the list until you find the MINI Connected app.
4. Click it and select Uninstall. Follow prompts to remove it.
5. After uninstalling, visit the official MINI website or Microsoft Store to download the latest MINI Connected app version for Windows.
6. Install it, then log in with your MINI account and check if the weather feature works again.

If you are actually talking about a separate weather app on your Windows device, you can uninstall it similarly via Apps & features and reinstall from the Microsoft Store.

Could you confirm whether it's the MINI Connected app or a different weather app on your Windows device? That way, I can give you the most precise steps.

it is the mini connect weather app

Thanks for confirming it's the MINI Connected Weather app. Here's a bit about its features and how it works so we’re aligned before troubleshooting:

The MINI Connected Weather app provides you with live weather updates, including precipitation overlays on a map for locations you choose, like your current position. It’s integrated inside the MINI Connected system and gives you up-to-date forecasts related directly to your travels or planning1 5.

Since the weather function is built into the main MINI Connected app rather than a separate one you can uninstall individually, a fresh reinstall of the entire MINI Connected app on your Windows system is the way to go if it stopped working.

Here’s what I’d recommend for a smooth reinstall on your Windows 10 device:

1. Close the MINI Connected app completely.
2. Click Start > Settings > Apps & features.
3. Locate “MINI Connected” in the list.
4. Click it and select Uninstall; follow prompts to remove it fully.
5. Restart your computer to clear out any temporary files.
6. Visit the official MINI site or Microsoft Store for the latest MINI Connected Windows app download.
7. Download and install the app fresh.
8. Log back in with your MINI account credentials.
9. Open the weather function and check if it now updates correctly.

If reinstalling doesn’t fix the weather updates, ensure your Windows device has active internet connectivity and that any firewall or antivirus software isn’t blocking the app’s access to the network. MINI Connected relies on data connectivity to fetch live weather info.

Detailed steps to reinstall weather app on MINI app

Thanks for your patience! To reinstall the weather app inside the MINI Connected system on your 2025 Mini S, it’s important to note that the weather feature is part of the overall MINI Connected service rather than an independently installable app. So, the reinstall process focuses on refreshing the MINI Connected system and its services, which will include the weather functionality.

Here’s a detailed step-by-step approach to reinstall or refresh the MINI Connected Weather app:

1. Update MINI Connected Services via iDrive (in-car system):
- On your Mini’s iDrive controller, navigate to the MINI Connected menu.
- Press the "Options" button on the iDrive controller.
- Scroll down and select “Update MINI Services” or a similar option—you may need to be logged into your MINI ID account in the car system.
- This step ensures the latest version and services (including weather) are downloaded and active in your vehicle3.

2. Log out and back in on the MINI Connected smartphone app:
- Open the MINI Connected app on your Windows device or smartphone.
- Log out of your MINI account completely.
- Close the app fully, then re-open it and log back in. Sometimes re-authentication can restore missing app features.

3. Uninstall and reinstall the MINI Connected app on your Windows device:
- Go to Start > Settings > Apps & features.
- Find “MINI Connected” and uninstall it.
- Restart your computer.
- Download the latest version of MINI Connected from the official MINI website or Microsoft Store and install it fresh.
- Log back in and check if the weather feature is active.

4. Check network connections:
- Confirm that your Windows device or smartphone running the MINI app has an active internet connection.
- Make sure no firewall or VPN is blocking access to MINI servers.

5. Restart your Mini S:
- Sometimes a full restart of the vehicle’s system helps re-sync connected services.

If after these steps the weather app still does not work or show updates, there could be a temporary issue with MINI backend services or your vehicle’s connectivity. In that case, contacting MINI support directly or your dealership to check for firmware updates and server status might be necessary.
