Mini One Audio System Failure

I have encountered similar audio issues in my Mini. The symptoms you describe, particularly the complete failure and stored error, are consistent with what I experienced. Have you noticed if the issue is constant, or does it appear intermittently?

In my case, the audio issues were constant as well. The static noise and speaker crackle were present intermittently before the complete failure. Given your description and the constant failure, it does indeed point towards a display fault. Considering the age of the vehicle, electronic components can degrade. I would recommend a thorough inspection at a reputable workshop to confirm the diagnosis and ensure no underlying electrical issues exist before committing to the repair.

Thank you for your insights. Regarding the intermittent nature, the failure has been constant since it first occurred. There have been no periods where the audio system functioned normally, which makes me suspect something other than a loose connection. Did you also notice any static noise or speaker crackle before the audio system completely failed?

I appreciate the confirmation and advice. I took the Mini One to a local workshop. Diagnosis confirmed a defective display unit. The unit has been replaced and the audio system is now working correctly. The repair cost was within the predicted range.
