Mini One transport mode issue

I am writing to inquire about a peculiar issue I have encountered with my recently acquired 2010 Mini One. It appears that the transport mode is active, leading to a general electrical malfunction. The navigation system is also non-functional. I understand that this is often the case with new vehicles, and I am hoping it is a simple fix, with no eventual repair cost. I suspect it involves the car configuration. Any insights regarding this car electronics problem would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your Mini One is stuck in transport mode. I had a similar issue with my Mini. Does the navigation system also not work? It could be a simple vehicle setting issue. Have you tried a diagnostic check?

That's interesting. When you say vehicle setting issue, could you elaborate on what you mean by that? What exactly did you have to do to resolve it?

Yes, the navigation was dead too. Think of it like a new phone that's locked down until you set it up. The workshop should be able to run a diagnostic check and reset the car configuration, which should solve it.

Thank you for confirming. You were right; I took the Mini One to the authorized service center. After a diagnostic check, they confirmed the transport mode was active. They performed a car configuration reset and the car electronics are now working normally. No costs were incurred, as expected.
