MINI Cooper Key Fob Battery Replacement

How to Change Your Key Fob Battery: MINI Cooper SAVs®
So, your key fob remote isn’t working like it used to. Thankfully, replacing the battery in a MINI Cooper key fob is a simple, seven-step process:
Press the small silver button on the side of your key fob and remove the integrated metal key from the remote control.
Pry open the fob casing using the end of your metal key.
Now that your battery compartment is accessible, use your metal key to open it up.
Push the battery toward the center of the circle-shaped fob. This should give it a slight lift and allow you to remove it.
Place a new CR 2032 battery in the open compartment. Make sure that the positive side is facing upward.
Return the battery housing and the key fob cover to their proper places.
Press the metal key back into its housing until you hear a click.
Our Golden Valley parts department keeps key fob batteries in stock, but you can also find CR 2032 batteries at other hardware stores and supermarkets near Minnetonka and St Louis Park.
MINI Cooper Key Fob Replacement
Maybe you’ve lost your key fob. Maybe you recently changed the key fob battery but your MINI Cooper features still aren’t working as they should! Our parts department can help you out with MINI Cooper key fob replacement.
In this event, you’ll need to program the fob and pair it with your vehicle. Schedule service today, or follow these steps:
Insert your metal key into the ignition. Turn the key to accessory mode. Your lights should turn on, but your engine should remain off.
Withdraw the key from the ignition without turning the vehicle off. Press and hold the unlock button on your key fob.
Now press the lock button three times in rapid succession. Release the unlock button as you press lock for the third time.
If your MINI Cooper does not have a traditional ignition, you can skip step one. Just press the on button (without starting the vehicle) while all the windows and doors are closed, then take steps two and three while your vehicle remains in accessory mode. If your sunroof won’t close, you may need to perform a manual reset before you can pair a new key fob.
