Mini One Bumper Antenna Issues

Anyone ever had issues with the bumper antenna on their 2010 Mini One diesel? I'm getting an error stored, the keyless entry is wonky, and sometimes it won't start without the key. I'm suspecting a defective cable or plug connection.

Hey, I had something similar with my Mini One! The keyless entry started acting up, and sometimes it wouldn't even start without the key in the ignition. Have you noticed any issues with your car radio, like increased signal interference?

Interesting. Signal interference... I hadn't really paid attention to that. Where exactly was the issue located in your car? Was it a difficult antenna repair?

Yeah, the car radio was definitely affected by some signal interference. I'm no expert, but I think it’s all related. It's probably the vehicle antenna itself. I didn't attempt an antenna replacement myself; I just took it to a workshop. They confirmed the antenna cable was the culprit.

Thanks a lot for your help! I took it to the workshop and indeed, the bumper antenna cable was defective. 95€ later, everything works perfectly again!
