Changing the Battery in Your Mini Key Fob

The key fob allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle from an extended distance. It also allows you to activate the panic button on your vehicle which will deter burglaries.

You can fix your device by following a few easy steps. First, make sure the battery is in good condition. Then, remove it from the ignition by pressing the lock button three times quickly.

Battery

Changing the battery in your key fob is one of the easiest fixes. The fob uses the small coin-shaped battery (CR2032 or CR2025), which is easily found in most general stores or home improvement stores and auto parts stores. Use a brand new battery. Old batteries can cause damage to the circuit boards and become less useful.

It is recommended to begin by opening the fob. You may need to use a flat screwdriver to break the two halves. After that, slide the screwdriver in the seams on both sides of the fob and lift up a couple of clips that hold it in place. They are easy to break therefore, proceed slowly and with care.

Reassemble the fob after replacing the battery and check to see if it works as it should. If it doesn't work after pressing the button a few times, make sure the contacts are clean. You could also try it with a spare key for mini cooper key fob to determine if the issue is isolated to that particular key. If not, there could be another reason for the key fob to not work. It could be due to a worn-out button, for instance. This will only cause the button to operate occasionally, not every time.

Interference

The key fob is powered by a small transmitter that sends out an extremely short-range signal to a receiver in your car. Its function is to allow your vehicle to recognize the key fob and open its doors when you are near it and start when you push the ignition button.

Interference may sometimes hinder communication. For example, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it may hinder you from unlocking your car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices that utilize the same frequency as the fob might also interfere with its signal. This could include garage door openers as well as tire-pressure monitoring systems. Even a transmitter in your home could be interfering with the tire pressure, but this is difficult for a professional to test.

Your key fob may also need to be reprogrammed. The transmitter inside your key fob must be recognized by Mini's receiver. A unique code is used for each pairing. Fobs need to be reprogrammed after being disconnected or replaced, after purchasing a new one and in some cases when the battery is replaced. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual to reprogram your key fob or ask a dealer for help.

Chips that aren't working

Modern electronic key fobs provide greater convenience and efficiency than traditional manual keys. However, they are also more prone to damage. One of the most common problems is a faulty chip that will prevent your key fob from working properly. Luckily, this is usually an easy fix.

If the car key fob fails to start up, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning chip. It is usually possible to fix the problem by simply replacing the battery. This is a low-cost and easy solution that can be purchased at any hardware store or retailer. To avoid any further issues ensure you buy an appropriate battery for your car model.

The fob should also not be exposed to water, or soapy residue. The presence of water can cause corrosion, which can cause interference with the circuit board. If this is the case, you'll have to wash it with isopropyl alcohol or electronic cleaner before putting in an entirely new battery.

It is a good practice to test the functioning of the fob prior to driving the vehicle. Utilizing a voltmeter, examine the voltage of the replacement battery to determine whether it is at an acceptable level. If not then it may be required to replace the entire chip in the remote. A certified technician from a dealer can help determine the best solution for your vehicle.
