Changing the Battery in Your Mini Key Fob

The key fob makes it simple to lock and unlock your vehicle from the distance. It also allows you to activate your car's panic button, which can deter break-ins.

You can fix your device by following a few easy steps. First, make sure that the battery is in good condition. Remove the battery from the ignition, and then press the lock button quickly three times.

Battery

The most simple way to fix the battery of your key fob is to replace it. The fob has a tiny coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) which is typically easy to find in general stores or home improvement stores as well as some auto parts stores. Make sure to use a new battery. Old batteries can harm the circuit boards and are no longer useful.

Start by opening the fob. You may need to use a flat screwdriver split 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 cautious and work slowly.

Reassemble the fob after replacing the battery, and test to determine if it functions as it should. If it's still not working Try pressing the button several times before confirming whether the contacts are clean. You could also try it with a spare key fob to see if the problem is confined to your key. If not, there could be another reason for the key fob not to work. For example, it could be that the button is worn out. This could cause the button to operate only occasionally, not all the time.

Interference

The key fob is powered by a small transmitter that sends out an extremely short-range signal to a receiver inside your car. Its purpose is to allow your car to recognize the fob and open its doors when you approach it and to start when you press the ignition button inside.

Interference can occasionally interfere with communication. For instance, if are using your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it may 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, or tire pressure monitoring devices can also be affected. It is also possible that an RF receiver inside your home could interfere with the fob's signal, but this would be difficult to pinpoint without a professional test.

It's also possible that the key fob simply needs to be reset. The transmitter on the key fob needs to be recognized by the Mini's receiver. A unique code is then used for each pairing. Fobs must be reprogrammed after being disconnected or replaced, if purchasing a new one and in certain cases when the battery is replaced. Follow the directions in your owner's manual to program a key fob, or consult a dealer.

Chips that aren't working

Modern electronic key fobs offer the convenience and functionality of traditional manual keys, however they can also be more susceptible to being damaged. A defective chip is among the most frequent issues that can stop your key fob from operating correctly. This is usually a simple fix.

The problem can usually be repaired by replacing the battery which is cheap and easy to locate at an hardware store or big-box retailer. To avoid any further issues ensure that you purchase the right battery with the vehicle model you are using.

The fob should not be exposed to water or soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and interfere with the circuitry. If this is the case, you will need to clean it with isopropyl alcohol or an electronic cleaner prior to putting in a new battery.

It is a good practice to test the functionality of the fob prior driving the vehicle. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage of the new battery to determine whether it is at a safe level. If not, you may have to replace the entire remote chip. A trained technician from a dealership can assist you in determining the best solution for your car.
