Mini Clubman Electrical Malfunctions and Navigation Failure

Sounds like ECU problems. I had a similar issue with my Mini Clubman a while back. The navigation went haywire, and I was getting all sorts of weird electrical faults. Was there any error code stored? For me, it turned out to be a software bug in the control module. A software reset or update might do the trick.

Software bug, huh? That sounds about right. Yeah, the error memory is full of error codes! How did you fix it? Did you do a software reset yourself, or did you have to take it somewhere? I'm not really tech-savvy when it comes to car software. Is a software update difficult? I'm desperate to get this sorted out!

Okay, based on your description and the error codes, it's highly likely a corrupted software issue. I wouldn't recommend attempting a software reset or update yourself unless you have experience with car programming. Incorrect flashing can brick the ECU. The best course of action is to take it to a certified workshop with the appropriate diagnostic tools and software. They can reflash the control module with the latest software version. I paid around that price, 240€, for the repair, so your mechanic's estimate seems accurate.

You were totally right! I took my Clubman to a certified workshop, and they confirmed it was a corrupted software issue. They performed a complete software update, recoded the control modules and everything is working perfectly now. The navigation is back, and all those crazy electrical glitches are gone. Cost me 240€, exactly what you predicted! Thanks a million for your help, you saved me a lot of stress and probably more money!
