Can’t even start account – MINI Connected Review

Just bought a 2016 Countryman, and started to set up this app. I cannot get past PIN creation because of a “connectivity issue”. I tried to get this app in case it could help solve a different, ridiculous shortcoming... when I connect my iphone to bluetooth, phone AND audio work fine. When I connect it straight to usb port to charge, usb audio kills bluetooth audio (bt phone is still ok). The car does not seem to be compatible with iOS as an audio output destination, as usb audio out is not a choice on the phone (this works on other, ‘cheaper’ cars). I guess i’m buying a 12V charger..
