MINI F56 Cooper S Hardtop

The three-door third-generation MINI hatchback. Its lighting, parking assistance and chassis functions are distributed across control units that hold their own coding and publish data to one another, so electrical complaints on these cars are as often coding or communication problems as they are component failures.
