Sat Radio after software update

I've been very happy with my 2011 All4. It now has 36,000 miles and I've had no significant issues. Not long ago, however, I got the "replace front brake pads" message and took it to the dealer.
The service department said that the pads actually didn't need replacing, and they did a software update to reset the sensor because it wouldn't clear.
After updating the software, however, my radio has changed its behavior.
My car has Mini Connected with satellite radio and navigation. Before the service, when I turned the car off, it would remember the station I was listening to and it would be waiting for me when I started the car again. Since then, however, if I'm listening to satellite radio and turn the car off, the radio starts up at the FM Manual position, tuned to a bunch of static at the bottom of the dial.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Do you have comfort access? If so, try setting your car up with the key fob in the dash.

Zaftig has done this forever. It's one of his quirks that I just deal with. Lately, he's also been turning off Bluetooth music. BMW electronics are mostly beta.

Exact same scenario and same behavior as mine (2012). It's annoying. They also completely reset my "brake alarm, go in for service" so it looks like it did when the car was new, so I'm back to rolling at least 24k miles before it goes off. Well played, MINI. You'll foot me with the bill when the brake alarm goes off instead of covering it under the 36k maintenance. Let me know if you end up getting yours "fixed". Good luck.
