Mini Countryman Sunroof Error

My 2016 Mini Countryman sunroof is throwing a 'not initialized' error. The sunblind is stuck, and the convertible top is completely unresponsive. Is there something obviously wrong with the sunroof mechanism?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Mini Countryman is experiencing a 'not initialized' error with the sunroof, causing the sunblind to be stuck and the convertible top to be unresponsive. The issue may be related to the car's computer system or coding errors. A workshop reset resolved the problem, suggesting that the error was likely due to a software glitch rather than a mechanical fault.

Strange, I had a similar issue with my Countryman's sunroof. The sunblind got stuck, and the whole convertible top refused to budge. Was any work recently done on the car's electronics? Have you tried any basic sunroof troubleshooting steps like checking fuses?

No fuse issues. By 'similar', do you mean the exact same symptoms? What was the resolution for you?

Yes, the symptoms were pretty much identical: sunblind stuck and convertible top inoperative. I didn't try anything myself. I took it to a workshop, and they sorted it out. I believe it had something to do with the car's computer, but I am not 100% sure.

Thanks for the insight. Turns out some coding had messed with the sunroof system. A reset at the workshop fixed it. Cost me 75€, all in.
