I am writing to seek assistance regarding my 2012 Mini Roadster, which has clocked 177335 km. I am encountering function restrictions specifically with smartphone connectivity. The smartphone cannot be connected, and there is an error stored in the error memory. Could incorrect pairing be the culprit, or is there something more sinister at play?

Mini Roadster smartphone connectivity issue resolved

I had a similar issue with my Mini. Have you checked the error memory? It could be a simple software glitch. Also, ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth is discoverable. Sometimes the ignition system can cause issues with the car's computer. Does your engine light illuminate?

Yes, I did check the error memory, and there was an error stored. Can you please elaborate on the ignition system causing computer issues? I haven't experienced any problems with the suspension, steering or brakes yet.

Indeed, a faulty ignition system can sometimes trigger spurious errors in the car's computer, affecting connectivity. Given that an error is already logged, and you've tried basic troubleshooting, I recommend taking your Mini to a workshop for diagnosis. They can pinpoint the problem more accurately.

I wanted to provide an update on my Mini Roadster. As per your suggestion, I visited a local workshop. They confirmed the pairing issue and resolved it. The repair cost was 45€. Everything is working fine now. Thank you so much for your help!
