Radio stopped working suddenly
We have a 2009 R56 Cooper and the radio stopped working overnight dead defunct - no display no sound at all.
Checked the fuses under the bonnet and in the kick panel - all good.
I understand there is one behind the radio but other posts suggest this is not the issue, I called mini - no help except for a $1000 for a new one.
Does anyone know what the problem is and can they be repaired.
Thanks.

I've been going through this with our 2009 Justa for over a year now. The radio and the attendant display stuff below the center speed is just black. No time, no date even.
It will go along like this for several weeks, and then start running again as if nothing had ever been wrong -- even the clock and date are right and the presets are still intact. It will work again for a few weeks, then nothing again. That cycle repeats. I've had everything out of the dash and checked all of the contacts to be sure that nothing is losing connectivity.
I've left several postings here but to no avail. It is frustrating.

Seems to be a somewhat common problem. From the threads I've seen individuals stated it was either a dead head unit or a bad ribbon cable to the HU. Posted some threads below for you.

Radio and navigation systems not working
This seems to be a pretty common problem with minis. Also, a really expensive fix!! Why isn't there a recall? I just bought a 2009 Clubman from car max.. 31 days after purchase the systems went dead! One day after warranty expired! Not cool and no real info on how to fix the problem!
