How to reset R56 ECU?

Is there a procedure for resetting the R56 MINI ECU? By reset I mean make it forget what it has learned....
I've seen procedures for the R53 but I haven't been able to find anything for the R56.
Typically I would just disconnect the battery, but the threads that I've read on this say that disconnecting the battery will not reset the MINI ECU (unlike most cars).

Dealer or indy MINI shop have the software tools to reset adaptations. I don't think any combo of in car switches do that.

There is a way. Either use coding software like BMW's INPA or go through the menu's on the odometer as detailed here https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ni-viagra.html
