MINI J01 light shows
Supported 2024+
3D preview on the closest 3D model we have, the MINI Cooper S (F56). Your own car may have a few more or fewer lights.
The Boring Lights app can switch the MINI J01's tail lights, brake lights, reverse lights, rear fog lights and indicators: strobe, wig-wag, double flash, chase and your own shows, from your iPhone. The first time, the app checks each light with you. Rear lights, if the car has BMW's separate rear light modules (the app checks by itself). Front lights are coming.
Get Boring LightsTry a light show in 3DWhat your MINI J01 can do
Tail lights, brake lights, reverse lights, rear fog lights and indicators. Nothing else is switched, and every light goes back to the car when you stop.
Ready-made shows at any speed, left and right, front and rear.
Pick the lights and the pattern yourself, and see it on the 3D car first.
How it works
Any Bluetooth OBD adapter in the diagnostic port. The app finds it by itself.
The app recognises your MINI J01 and the lights it has.
Your real lights run it. Stop hands every light straight back to the car.
What you need
An iPhone and a Bluetooth OBD adapter (Veepeak BLE, vLinker, OBDLink or similar). Bluetooth keeps wireless CarPlay and your phone's internet working. No coding and nothing changed on the car.
Best adapter to leave in the car
OBDLink CX: Bluetooth, sleeps when the car is off and wakes with it, so it can stay plugged in and connects by itself, and wireless CarPlay keeps working. Cheaper: vLinker BM+.

Safety
Light shows are for when the car is parked, where it is allowed, never on a public road. Every light goes back to normal when you press Stop, and after 10 minutes at most.
