If the large circular screen of the Mini Cooper freezes or responds slowly, you can perform a software-only reset using the command located below the display. This operation should be done with the car stationary, the gear in the park position, and the ignition on. Once you are safely positioned, bring the system to the driving or navigation screen and locate the central button on the control panel, the same one you usually press to turn on the system.

To initiate the restart, press and hold this button continuously without releasing it. After a few seconds, the screen will begin to turn off: the map image will disappear, and only a few essential pieces of information, such as speed and gear indicator, will remain on a dark background.

Continuing to hold the button, the display will turn completely black, and the infotainment system will shut down.

At this point, you can release the button and wait a moment: the screen will turn back on by itself, the initial graphics will appear, and the normal navigation, radio, and settings screens will become visible again. This reset does not delete the user's personal data but simply restarts the software of the multimedia system.

Therefore, it is a useful procedure to know for quickly unlocking the central screen of the Mini Cooper without disconnecting the battery or entering the service menus.
