In this video, you will learn how to access the secret menu on a Mini Cooper. First, turn the ignition key until you see the mileage screen.

Press and hold the button next to the odometer: at this point, you will see the mileage reset and then a specific message "test" that leads you to the menu of interest. Once you release the button, a number will appear each time you press the same button.

The number you are interested in is 19, which, when pressed again, gives access to the secret menu. Once inside, you can scroll through various numbers to access different contents, such as the coolant temperature.
