It is being reported that MINI Connected, one of the option unique to MINI brand, is in short supply prompting unavailability of MINI Connected in the order sheet. The cars already ordered by the dealers will be manufactured without it, and customers who custom ordered are being informed of indefinite delay of their cars' production unless they are willing to go without it. This affects all MINI models, not just Countryman. In certain cases, customers are being advised to order MINI Connected + Navigation as it is still available. Apparently, all this is due to part shortage caused by Japanese tsunami. While there was enough inventory of stand alone MINI Connected module at the time of disaster, some key component suppliers in Japan are not being able to fill the new orders, prompting the shortage. There is no word yet on when the availability will be back to normal.
