Changing the Battery in Your Mini Key Fob The key fob makes it easy to lock and unlock your vehicle from the distance. It can also trigger the panic button on your vehicle to deter thieves. If your device stops working, it can be fixed by following a few steps. First, make sure that the battery is in good condition. Remove the battery from the ignition and then press the lock button fast three times. Battery Change the battery in your key fob is among the easiest fixes. The device uses a small coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) that is usually accessible in general stores or home improvement stores as well as some auto parts stores. Make sure to use a brand new battery -old batteries are usually no longer good for anything and could damage the circuit board. Start by removing the fob. It might be a bit tight but with the aid of a flat screwdriver you should be able to separate the halves. Fit the screwdriver in the seams on both sides of the fob and lift the clips that hold it. They are easily broken So, proceed slowly and with care. After replacing the battery then reassemble the fob and test it to see if everything is functioning as it should. If it doesn't function after pressing the button a few times, make sure that the contacts are clean. You can also try it using another key fob to determine whether the issue is confined to that particular key. If it is not, there could be another reason for the key fob not to function. For instance it could be because the button is worn out. This could trigger the button only occasionally, not all the time. Interference The key fob utilizes a small transmitter to send an audio signal that is short-range to a receiver within your vehicle. Its function is to allow your car to recognize the key fob, then open its doors when you come close to it and start when you press the ignition button. The problem is, interference can sometimes hinder the communication. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it could stop you from unlocking the vehicle. Other electronic devices that use the same frequency as the fob can also interfere with its signal. Garage door openers or tire pressure monitoring devices may be affected. It's even possible that an RF receiver inside your home might be interfering with the fob's signal though this would be difficult to determine without an expert test. It's possible that your fob simply needs to be changed in its programming. The transmitter inside the fob you have purchased must be recognized by Mini's receiver. A unique code is then used for each pairing. Fobs must be reprogrammed after they are disconnected or replaced, if you buy a new one and, in some instances, when the battery is changed. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual to change the programming of a key fob. You can also ask a dealer for assistance. Faulty chip Modern electronic key fobs offer more convenience and functionality than manual keys. However they are also more vulnerable to damage. One of the most common issues is a damaged chip that will prevent your fob from functioning correctly. This is usually a straightforward fix. If your fob is always not turning on your car, it's an indication that the chip is faulty. It is generally possible to fix the problem by replacing the battery. This is a low-cost and simple fix that can be found at any hardware store or retailer. Make sure you buy an alternative battery that is compatible with the model of your car to avoid recurring problems. The fob should not be exposed to water, or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and damage the circuitry. If this is the case, you will require cleaning it using isopropyl alcohol, or an electronic cleaner prior to putting in the new battery. It is a good idea to test the functionality of the fob prior to operating the vehicle. Examine the voltage of new battery using an voltmeter and make sure it is secure. If not, you could need to replace the entire remote chip. A trained technician from a dealership will help you choose the best solution for your vehicle.
