R59
Produced from August 2010 to July 2012
R60
Produced to November 2012
With option 6FC (MINI Boost CD Radio) and option 6NE (Mobile phone Bluetooth preparation with USB audio interface)
SITUATION
After programming the vehicle with ISTA/P 2.48.x, the voice recognition (Basic SVS) is inoperative.
NOTE:
The Basic SVS only includes voice recognition for phone functions.
CAUSE
Error in the coding data of ISTA/P 2.48.x
The voice recognition function is unintentionally deactivated.
CORRECTION
Do not replace parts.
1. Perform a vehicle test using the latest ISTA diagnostic software.
Note:
When the ISTA system message displays: "Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Please connect charger." Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.
2. Reprogram the vehicle using ISTA/P 2.49.0 or later
New integration level: R056-13-03-501 or higher
3. Complete all of the post-programming work as indicated in the ISTA/P Final Report. This includes performing diagnosis and clearing faults with ISTA, if necessary.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
Covered under the terms of the MINI New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Labor operation code 00 00 006 is a Main labor operation. If you are using a Main labor code for another repair, use the Plus code labor operation 00 00 556 instead.
