First, ensure that the battery is in good condition. Then, you can try removing it from the ignition and pressing the lock button three times rapidly. Battery The most simple way to fix the battery of your key fob is to replace it. The key fob is powered by a small coin-shaped battery (CR2032 or the CR2025) that can be located in the majority of general stores as well as home improvement stores and auto parts stores. Make sure you use a new battery -Old batteries are generally not good for anything and can cause damage to the circuit board. Start by opening the fob. You may have to use a flat screwdriver to divide the two halves. Fit the screwdriver in the seams on both sides of the fob, and lift the clips which hold it in place. These are easily broken, so be careful and take your time. Reassemble the fob after replacing the battery, and check to see if it does what it is supposed to. If it's not working, try pressing the button a few times and verifying that the contacts are in good order. You can also test it with a spare key fob to determine if the issue is not specific to the key. If it isn't, there may be another reason for why the key fob isn't working. It could be due to a worn button, for example. This will only trigger the button occasionally, not every time. Interference The key fob is powered by a tiny transmitter that transmits an extremely short-range signal to a receiver inside your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob, and open its doors when you approach and start when you press the ignition button inside. Interference can sometimes interfere with communication. For instance, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it might stop you from unlocking your car (via iGeneration). Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency could also interfere with the fob's signal. Garage door openers, or tire pressure monitoring devices can also be affected. A transmitter in your home could be interfering however it is not easy for an expert to test. It's possible that your fob simply needs to be reprogrammed. The transmitter on the fob you have purchased must be recognized by Mini's receiver. A unique code is then used for each pairing. Fobs typically need to be reprogrammed when they're removed or replaced, or when you purchase a new one and, in some instances when the battery is changed. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual for how to change the programming of a key fob. You can also seek assistance from a dealer. Faulty chip Modern electronic key fobs offer convenience and performance over traditional manual keys, however they are also more susceptible to being damaged.

If your car key fob isn't able to start up it could be a sign of a damaged chip. It is generally possible to resolve the issue by simply replacing the battery. This is a cost-effective and easy fix which can be found at any hardware store or retailer. To avoid any further issues ensure you buy an appropriate battery with the vehicle model you are using. The fob should also not be exposed to water or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and damage the circuitry. If this is the case, you will need to clean it using isopropyl alcohol, or an electronic cleaner before putting in a new battery. It is a good practice to test the functionality of the fob before driving the vehicle. Examine the voltage of new battery with an voltmeter and make sure it's safe.
