My MINI Cooper S 2014 central display is not working, is there a fix for this?

I have a 2014 Mini Cooper S. The central display opens, moves to the main menu then goes blank. This cycle then repeats ad infinitum. In the short period the main menu is shown, the radio can be adjusted and heard and the other options appear to display normally before the screen goes blank and it begins again. Is there a simple fix to revert it to the normal functionality?

Any ideas?

With an electrical fault such as this it could be a number of faults that are causing the display to malfunction. We would suggest taking your car to an independent MINI specialist who may be able to diagnose the fault, you can find one using the Honest John Good Garage Guide here: good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/ Replacing the screen may be an expensive solution, so you may wish to look at swapping it out for an aftermarket unit that uses Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
