THE Mini talks the electronic talk with multiplex infrastructure incorporating a databus system. That means it is able to make do with a far smaller number of lines, cables and connectors than a conventional electronics system, resulting in easier installation, less chance of something going wrong and reduced weight. There are two databus systems, the CAN bus connects the engine management, brakes, transmission and the instruments, while the K bus is repsonsible for body electronics such as interior lights, air-conditioning, windows and doors.
