Transport Mode Active on Clubman

My 2017 Mini Clubman diesel is showing 'transport mode active' on the dash. It's got km on the clock. The navigation system is completely dead, and there seem to be some other electrical issues. It seems weird, because it's not a new car. Any ideas?

Transport mode active on a Clubman with that kind of mileage? That's unusual, since you mentioned it's not a new vehicle. Are you absolutely certain it's transport mode and not some other car electronics glitch? Have you tried a simple key fob re-sync to the system? It sounds like a communication error somewhere in the CAN bus.

Re-sync the key fob? How exactly would I do that? And could a faulty sensor cause the navigation to go offline completely?

Yes, it definitely sounds like transport mode if you're seeing those symptoms. The dealer sometimes forgets to deactivate it during pre-delivery inspection. As for the key fob, it's unlikely to cause complete nav failure. Best bet is a diagnostic check with proper automotive diagnostic tools to confirm and disable transport mode. Should be a quick fix at the workshop.

Just wanted to follow up on this. Turns out the dealer had indeed left it in transport mode. A quick diagnostic check at the workshop sorted it. Everything's back to normal. Thanks for the help!
