Could you please elaborate on your experience? Did you also have errors stored? When you say 'auto defrost', do you mean the auto defrost feature?

Yes, I had similar errors stored in the system. By 'auto defrost' I mean the system automatically defrosting the windows. I suggest getting the battery checked as soon as possible.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I took the Mini Countryman to a workshop, and they confirmed a heavily discharged battery was the cause. Replacing it resolved the rear window heating issue. Total cost was 290€ including the battery and labor.

Sounds like a battery issue. I had a similar heating issue with my rear defroster and auto defrost. Does your windshield heating work as usual?
