Yes, it's brand new. The electrical malfunction is impacting several systems. Where exactly did you find the vehicle setting related to this issue in your car configuration? Is it something accessible without special tools, or is a software update required?

Mine acted up shortly after delivery as well. I couldn't find a setting myself. Honestly, I'm not sure about the software update part. I ended up taking it to the workshop. They mentioned something about a vehicle setting that needed adjustment after transport. Seems like it might be the same issue. I'd say it's worth a visit.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It seems you were exactly right. I brought the Mini to the workshop, and they confirmed it was a transport mode issue. They performed a car configuration update, and everything is now working as expected. Engine start is normal, and the navigation is back online. Appreciate the guidance!

I had a similar issue with my Cooper; electrical gremlins and the navigation refusing to cooperate. The car felt completely off. Did this start happening right after you got it? Have you checked the vehicle setting in the infotainment? Maybe it's something simple.
