Changing the Battery in Your Mini Key Fob

The key fob makes it simple to lock and unlock your vehicle from a distance. It also allows you to activate the panic button on your car, which can scare off break-ins.

You can repair your fob by following few simple steps. First, ensure that the battery is in good condition. Then, try removing it from the ignition and pressing the button to lock three times quickly.

Battery

The battery you use in your key fob is one the most straightforward fixes. The fob has a small coin-shaped battery (CR2032, and CR2025) It can be found in a variety of general stores or home improvement stores and auto parts stores. You should use a new battery. Batteries that are old can damage the circuit boards and cease to be useful.

Start by removing the fob. It may be a bit tight, but with the aid of a flat screwdriver, you should be able to separate the halves. Then, you can insert the screwdriver into the seams on both sides of the fob to lift a couple of clips holding it in place. These are easy to break therefore, proceed slowly and with care.

After replacing the battery then reassemble the fob and examine it to determine if everything is functioning as it should. If it still doesn't work you can try pressing the button a few times and ensuring that the contacts are clear. You can also try it with a spare key fob to determine whether the issue is limited to a particular key. If not, there could be another reason for the key fob to not work. For example, it could be that the button is worn out. This would cause the button to operate only occasionally, not all the time.

Interference

The key fob utilizes tiny transmitters to transmit an audio signal that is short-range to a receiver within your vehicle. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob and unlock its doors when you approach it, as well as start when you hit the ignition button inside.

The issue is that interference can interfere with that communication. For instance, if are using your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it might hinder you from unlocking your car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency can also interfere with the fob's signal. This could include garage door openers as well as tire-pressure monitoring systems. Even a transmitter inside your home could be interfering, but this is not easy for an expert to test.

The key fob might need to be reprogrammed. This requires the transmitter on the fob to be recognized by the receiver in your Mini and a distinct code is used for each pairing. The fob needs to be programmed after they have been disconnected or replaced, if purchasing a new one and in certain cases when the battery is replaced. To reprogram a fob follow the steps in your owner's manual or go to a dealer to seek assistance.

Chip that isn't working

Modern electronic key fobs offer the convenience and functionality of traditional manual keys, but they are also more vulnerable to damage. A malfunctioning chip is among the most common issues that can prevent your key fob from functioning properly. Fortunately, it's usually an simple fix.

If your fob is continually not turning on your car, it's a sign that the chip has become faulty. The problem can usually be resolved by replacing the battery which is affordable and easy to locate at the hardware store or a big-box retailer. To avoid future problems ensure that you purchase the right battery with the vehicle model you are using.

The fob should also not be exposed to water or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion, which can cause problems with the circuit board. If this is the case, you'll need to clean the circuit board by using isopropyl or electronic cleaner prior to putting in the new battery.

When the old battery is replaced, it's an excellent idea to test the function of the fob prior to driving the car. With a voltmeter, test the voltage of the new battery to determine whether it is at a safe level. If not then it may be required to replace the entire chip inside the remote. A certified technician from a dealer can assist you in determining the best solution for your vehicle.
