Mini Key: The Evolution Of Mini Key
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 have other functions like opening windows and directing your car to park itself.
The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps into the right position. This battery can be used with key fob batteries. Key ring slots can be molded into the enclosures to make it simple to attach keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a popular accessory for mini cooper owners, because it assists them with the everyday tasks of driving their car. This includes making it easier of getting into and out of their vehicle, especially when they are carrying bulky items or are having difficulty opening the door using standard keys.
The key fob uses RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification, in order to unlock the vehicle. This system is different from traditional key chains which require drivers to inserting the key into the slot. Instead the owner just walks up to the vehicle and holds the key fob. The system lets drivers open and close the trunk via remote, as well as closing or opening the sunroof.
While these features can be extremely useful for some drivers, they also can cause problems. If your comfort access system isn't performing as it is supposed to, there are many options to fix the issue. You can also make sure that there aren't any obstructions between the sensors of your car the window button, or door handle and that the key fob has been properly inserted into the keyhole in your car.
If you're still experiencing issues, restart the car and try again. If these steps don't work, you can contact an expert mechanic for further assistance.
Remote Start
Many people are surprised to learn that the MINI Cooper keyfob has remote start. If you add this feature to your car, it will enable you to start your vehicle remotely from as far as 70 meters away (or 230 feet). Press the lock button twice and then hold it down for several seconds to activate a remote-start.
You'll also be allowed to roll up and down your windows, or sunroof, so you can take in the fresh air before you leave your vehicle. Another feature you can activate using the key fob is the remote mirror control. This allows 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 vehicle. You can even set different profiles for drivers, so you can alter the seat or mirrors' position and also the climate settings based on who is driving it. If you share your BMW with your spouse or a friend they can enjoy all the comforts of a BMW while keeping their own personal driving experience.
Remote Trunk Close
The key fob of your mini cooper has a few hidden functions that can simplify your life. One of them is the capability to open or close the trunk of your car from a distance. This is particularly useful in the event that you have a large object in the trunk of your car, and you don't want to lift it up or remove your belt. You can also make use of your key fob to move up or down the windows and sunroof which is ideal especially if you're stuck in an awkward spot and aren't feeling like getting out of your vehicle to open and close them.
The key fob is able to summon your vehicle, much 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 automatically move out or back into the parking space and stop wherever you tell it to.
If you lose your key fob the first step is to deactivate it to ensure that it cannot be stolen by a burglar. It's easy to do and only takes less than a few minutes. You can find instructions on deactivation in your owner's manual, or on the automaker's website. You can also buy a new key fob and have it programmed by the dealer, though they'll need your driver's license and proof of ownership.
Remote Mirror Control
BMW is focused on providing their drivers with amenities that make driving their cars better. The ability to open and shut the trunk and sunroof via the key fob is one of the most popular features offered by the new MINI Cooper. To make this function remove your key from the ignition, without turning off the ignition and then press the unlock button three times in rapid succession. The car will remain in accessory mode and you can push the unlock button once more.
Remote Mirror Control is another helpful feature that comes with your new MINI Cooper Key Fob. The key fob allows you to fold or unfold your wing-mirrors, allowing you more room in tight parking spaces. This feature will also help you avoid the frustration of having someone else drive your vehicle and tamper with your seat positioning, radio settings or other preferences you've carefully set up.
