Our current (ha!) model electric Mini has had an issue with the control/infotainment system since yesterday.

Unable to control a/c, no radio or carplay, the HUD screen remains in it's burrow, restricted driver assistance and a yellow spanner giving the component protection error.

Spoke to connected services chap at Mini central. Attempted a remote reboot with no success. Tried the holding down of the volume button for 30 seconds as found on the interweb, but again no forced reboot.

Booked in for diagnostics in about two weeks time with no provision to borrow a car while it's in.

Not a great start to our Mini adventure.

Anyone else had similar issues? Easily resolved or troublesome customer experience?
