Mini Cabrio stuck in transport mode
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Mini Cabrio diesel is experiencing electrical malfunctions and a non-functional navigation system, suspected to be due to being stuck in transport mode. Despite the car's age, transport mode can still be activated, causing these issues. A diagnostic check confirmed the mode was active, and a reset by a professional resolved the problem, restoring normal functionality.

Yes, it's unusual, but it happened to me. I ran a diagnostic check and the system clearly indicated transport mode was active. In my case, a trip to the workshop and a reset of the system via the diagnostic tool was required. It might be worth getting a professional diagnostic check to confirm.

Interesting. Transport mode on a car? I thought that was only for new vehicles. How did you determine that was the cause, and what was the fix?

Just wanted to close the loop on this. The dealer confirmed it was indeed transport mode, even though the car isn't new. They reset it via the diagnostic check, and everything is working as it should now. Navigation is back, and no more electrical gremlins. Thanks for the pointer!

I had a similar issue with my Mini Cabrio after some car electronics work. The symptoms sound very familiar. Have you checked if it's stuck in transport mode? This can happen even if the vehicle isn't fresh off the factory floor.
