Yep - radio just died while I was getting gas

Worked when I pulled in to fuel up, totally dead when I restarted the car. Fun times.

Is there a consensus about aftermarket vs replacing with a used OEM one? The used OEM ones seem pretty inexpensive but not thrilled with replacing it only to have it happen again.

Thanks in advance for taking me to school here!

What kind of gas?

Just screwing with you as MINI always blames everything on the gas when I ask them a question.

Did you check fuses?

Are you saying the diesel fuel might've done it?

Kidding aside, I did check the fuse box and that's not it I am pretty confident that the unit itself is dead.
