Proud owner of a new-to-me (used) 2015 Mini Cooper S in BRG!
The car came with 8.8 screen with navigation but decided to stubbornly install the Android Auto/Apple Carplay MMI instead due to the ease of use. The MMI gave me a little difficulty setting up with all the wires and figuring out where to store the box, but finally got it to work and stored between the secret compartment and glove box. 😀
Once I got everything set up, I realized that the radio buttons and climate controls no longer work. I removed the MMI and put everything back to way it was prior to install, but still nothing! I can still control volume on the steering wheel, which isn't much of a problem, but not being able to turn on the heat has me worried! (which is why you may see this posted on a few different Mini forums). 🥶
I tried following the wires, but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. Checked behind the display, and behind the climate control itself. Everything seems to be connected. Did I mess up the wires/plug somehow, or perhaps blow a fuse? If that is the case, which fuse should I be focused on?
I have attached a few photos: two of the wire in the back of this display which I believe is the culprit for all these controls. A photo of my dash, which shows lack of power to the climate controls, seat warmers, etc, and radio controls.
