Mini Cooper Electric Function Restrictions

Experiencing function restrictions on my 2020 Mini Cooper Electric. My smartphone won't connect, and there's an error stored in the error memory. The likely cause, according to the diagnosis, is incorrect pairing with the end device. Has anyone else encountered something similar?

I had something similar happen with my Mini Cooper. The smartphone connectivity went haywire, and the engine light flickered a couple of times too. Is your fuel system working properly? Have you noticed any issues with the ignition system or steering? It felt like the car's brain was temporarily scrambled, like when your computer freezes because too many programs are running at once.

Interesting. So, besides the smartphone issue, you also experienced the engine light and the fuel system malfunction? Was there anything specific that triggered it, or did it just happen out of nowhere?

Yeah, it was pretty random. I never figured out the exact cause, but the error memory pointed towards some communication issue. The smartphone thing was a symptom, not the root problem. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed before something serious happens to the engine. Better safe than sorry, you know?

Thanks for sharing your experience. It turned out to be a simple pairing issue, as suspected. The repair only cost 45€. Everything is working normally now.
