How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob is capable of more than simply unlocking your car’s doors. Many fobs are equipped with additional functions, such as opening windows, or directing your vehicle to park itself.
The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps into place. This battery can be used with key fob batteries. Key ring slots are integrated into the enclosures to allow you to attach keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a popular choice among mini cooper owners since it aids them in their daily driving chores. This accessory makes it easier to get into and out of the car, particularly if you are carrying heavy objects or are having trouble opening the door using standard keys.
The key fob is a tiny device that utilizes RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification to unlock the car. Contrary to traditional key chains which require the user to insert the key into a slot, this system only requires owners to approach the vehicle with the key fob at hand. It also allows drivers to remotely open and close the trunk and service close and open the sunroof.
These features can be very beneficial for certain drivers, but they can also cause issues. There are a few steps you can do to fix your comfort access system if it isn’t functioning properly. These include ensuring that there are no obstructions between the car’s sensors and the window or door handle and verifying that the key fob is correctly inserted into your car’s keyhole.
If you are still having issues start the car again and try again. If these steps do not work, you may need to contact a mechanic to get additional help.
Remote Start
Many people are shocked to discover that the MINI Cooper keyfob has remote start. It allows you to remotely start your vehicle from up to 70 meters (or 230 feet) away. Click the ‘lock button’ twice, then hold it down for several seconds to trigger a remote start.
You can also roll up and down your windows and sunroofs to enjoy the fresh air even before you enter your vehicle. Another cool feature that you can activate with the key fob is the remote mirror control. This will allow you to fold and unfold your wing mirrors, exactly like you do with the switch in the car.
The key fob can also be used to shut the trunk. This is a fantastic option if you have forgotten to lock your car. You can create different driver profiles to modify the temperature and seat position according to the driver. If you’re sharing your car with a partner or spouse, they’ll have the opportunity to experience all the luxury of your BMW while still enjoying a private and relaxing drive.
Remote Trunk Close
The key fob of your mini cooper can be used to make your life easier. One of them is the capability to open or close your trunk from a distance. This is especially helpful when you have a large item in the back of your vehicle and don’t want to lift it off or unbuckle your seatbelt. You can also make use of the key fob to open or close your windows as well as the sunroof if you’re parked in an awkward area and don’t wish to leave your vehicle to do so.
Another great feature of the key fob is that it has the ability to summon your vehicle similar to Tesla’s “summon” feature. It works by pressing the lock button on your key fob three times in a row. Then the car will automatically stop or pull out of an parking spot and stop when you direct it to.
The first thing you should do should you lose your key fob is disable it. This will stop it from being used by burglars. It’s simple and only takes a few moments. You can find instructions on deactivation in your owner’s manual or on the automaker’s website. You can also purchase a new keyfob and have it programmed at a dealer. They will need your driver’s license as well as proof of ownership.
Remote Mirror Control

The ability to open and close the trunk and sunroof via the key fob is one of the standard features of the new MINI Cooper. To make this work take your key out of the ignition and press the unlock button 3 times quickly. The car will remain in accessory mode which allows you to hit the unlock button three times.
