How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob can do more than unlock your car door. Many fobs have additional functions, like rolling down windows or summoning your vehicle to park itself.
FB Series enclosures are designed to house a PCB and feature a snap-in coin cell battery holder that works with the popular key fob batteries. Key ring slots are molded into the enclosures to allow you to attach keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a popular choice among mini cooper owners since it helps them with their daily driving tasks. This accessory allows you to easily get into and out of your car, especially if you are carrying heavy objects or are having difficulty opening the door using regular keys.
The key fob is a tiny device that utilizes RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification to unlock the vehicle. This is different from traditional key chains, which require that the driver insert the key into the slot. Instead the owner simply walks towards the vehicle holding the key fob. The system also permits drivers to open and close the trunk, as well as close and open the sunroof.
These features can be very beneficial for certain drivers, but they can also cause problems. There are a few steps you can do to solve your comfort access system if it isn't working as it should. It is important to ensure that there aren't any obstructions between the car's sensors and the window or door handle, and confirming that the key fob is correctly inserted into your car's keyhole.
If you are still having issues restart the car and try again. If none of these solutions work call a mechanic for assistance.
Remote Start
A lot of people have trouble believing that the MINI Cooper key fob actually has remote start, but it does. If you add this feature to your car, it will enable you to start your vehicle remotely from up to 70 meters away (or about 230 feet). Press the lock button twice, and hold it down for several seconds to activate a remote start.
You'll also be able to roll up and down your windows or sunroof, so you can take in the fresh air before you leave your vehicle. Remote mirror control is a awesome feature that you can turn on via the key fob. This lets you fold and unfold your wing mirrors, just like you would with the switch in your car.
mini cooper car keys can also be used for closing the trunk. This is a fantastic feature to have if you've forgotten to lock your vehicle. You can also set different driver profiles, so you can alter the seat or mirrors' positions and the climate settings based on who is driving it.

Remote Trunk Close
The key fob for your mini cooper can be utilized to simplify your life. Among them is the ability to remotely open or close your trunk. This is especially helpful when you have a large item in the back of your car that you do not want to lift it or unbuckle your seat belt. You can also utilize your key fob to roll up and down the sunroof and windows, which is great when you're in an area that is tight and you don't want to get out of your vehicle to open or close them.
The key fob is able to summon your car, just like Tesla's "summoning" feature. This is done by pressing the lock button on your key fob three times in a row. Then your car will move out or back into a parking spot and stop where you tell it to.
The first thing you should do should you lose your key fob is to deactivate it. This will stop it from being used by burglars. This is simple to do and only takes about a minute. You can find instructions on deactivation in the owner's guidebook or on the website of the automaker. You can also purchase a new key fob, and have it programmed by the dealer, although you'll need your driver's licence and proof of ownership.
