"Carplay" ... to us classic owners that usually means taking the keys and going for a ride.

Let us know how this turns out!

Thank you Ken!  They did that when I took it in for it's last check up, I'm almost due again so I guess I'll ask them to do it again.

It 'sounds like' it may be worth visiting the MINI dealer to have them reload the Carplay software - I have seen reports of electrical strangeness that is 'sometimes' caused by corrupted software in the system.....   

I am hoping your MINI is still under warranty?

Thank you for that info.

Well, I’m sorry you feel that way.  I used to feel the same way, but all that did was prolong me learning how mini is still in game.  They’re built well, handle well, and as stylish as ever.  Take care Sir...

If you don't hear from someone regarding your MINI soon, Ken from Mini Mania will have an answer for you on Monday.

If your Countryman doesn't look something like the attached, its not a Mini.

Hello, I am a true Mini Maniac, I’ve owned 5 different minis and love them forever.  My question... I currently own 2018 JCW Countryman.  CarPlay has been awful since I’ve owned it (ordered my mini, no previous owner).   I drive a lot and enjoy Audible but I never know if it’s going to work.  Even when I’m listening to SiriusXM the whole screen will suddenly reboot itself, at least once a day.  Has anyone experienced these issues with CarPlay?  Anyone know a fix?
