Changing the Battery in Your Mini Key Fob

The key fob is a simple way to lock and unlock your vehicle from the distance. It can also activate the panic button on your vehicle to deter break-ins.

If your device ceases to function, it can be fixed by following a few steps. Make sure that the battery is new. Remove the battery from the ignition, then press the lock button fast three times.

Battery

The most straightforward way to repair your key fob's battery is to replace it. The key fob uses a tiny coin-shaped battery (CR2032 or 2025) and can be found in a variety of general stores and home improvement stores and auto parts stores. Make sure to use a new battery. Batteries that are old can damage the circuit boards and are no longer useful.

Begin by opening the fob. It may be tight, but with the help of a flat screwdriver you should be able to separate the halves. Place the screwdriver through the seams on both sides of the fob, and lift the clips that secure it. They are very easily broken, so work slowly and carefully.

After replacing the battery then reassemble the fob and examine it to determine if everything is working as it should. If it does not work after pressing the button a few times, make sure the contacts are clean. You could also try the fob with a spare to determine if the issue is specific to your key. If not, then there could be another reason for the key fob not to work. For example, it could be that the button is worn out. This would cause the button to function occasionally, not every time.

mini countryman key G28  is powered by a tiny transmitter that sends out a short-range signal to a receiver located in your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the key fob, unlock its doors as you approach it, and then turn on when you press the ignition button.

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

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob could interfere with its signal. Garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring devices can be affected. Even a transmitter in your home could be causing interference with the tire pressure, but this is difficult for professionals to test.

The key fob might require reprogramming. This process requires the transmitter in the fob to be recognized by the receiver in your Mini, and a unique code is assigned to each pairing. The fobs will typically need to be programmed after being removed or replaced, if you buy a new one or, in certain cases when the battery is changed. Follow the directions in the owner's manual for how to reprogram a key fob or consult a dealer.

Chips that aren't working

Modern electronic key fobs provide convenience and performance over traditional manual keys, but they are also susceptible to damage. A malfunctioning chip is among the most frequent problems that can prevent your key fob from functioning properly. Fortunately, this is often an simple fix.

If your fob keeps failing to turn on your car, it's an indication that the chip is malfunctioning. The issue can be resolved by replacing the battery which is affordable and easy to locate at any hardware store or big box retailer. Make sure you purchase a replacement battery that is compatible with your model of car to avoid further problems.

The fob shouldn't be exposed to water, or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and interfere with the circuitry. If this is the case, you'll need to clean the board with isopropyl or an electronic cleaner prior to installing the new battery.

It is a good idea to test the function of the fob before driving the vehicle. Verify the voltage of the new battery with the help of a voltmeter to confirm that it is safe. If not then it may be necessary to replace the entire chip in the remote. A certified technician from the dealership can help you choose the best solution for your vehicle.
