Mini Paceman transport mode issue

I have experienced a similar issue with my Mini Paceman. The navigation system malfunctioned, and I noticed some electrical anomalies. It sounds like the vehicle is in 'transport mode,' which is a setting activated during manufacturing or transportation to minimize battery drain. This mode restricts certain electrical functions. The solution often involves deactivating this mode via a software update or a specific vehicle setting reset. Did the issue arise immediately after you acquired the vehicle?

Thank you for the swift reply. Could you elaborate on the software update process? Was it something you were able to perform yourself, or did it require a visit to a workshop?

Indeed, I faced the same predicament. Attempting a self-administered solution may prove challenging, as it typically necessitates specialized diagnostic equipment and access to the vehicle's central control unit (ECU) to implement the software update. The ECU is essentially the car's computer. In my experience, a workshop visit was essential to rectify the 'transport mode' status.

Thank you for confirming the issue and the resolution. I visited the workshop, and a software update resolved the 'transport mode' status. Everything is functioning correctly now.
