Battery

The easiest way to fix your key fob's battery is to replace it. The fob has a small coin-shaped battery (CR2032, the CR2025) that can be located in the majority of general stores as well as home improvement stores and auto parts stores. Be sure to use a brand new battery -old batteries are usually not suitable for any purpose and could damage the circuit board.

Begin by opening the fob. You may need to employ a flat screwdriver in order to split the two halves. Attach the screwdriver to the seams on both sides of the fob, and lift the clips that hold it. These are easily broken, so be careful and slow.

After replacing the battery, reassemble the fob and test it to see if everything is functioning according to plan. If it isn't working after pressing the button multiple times, check that the contacts are clean. It is also possible to test it using another key fob to determine whether the issue is confined to that particular key. If it is not, there could be another reason that caused the key fob to not work. It could be due to a worn-out button, as an example. This will only cause the button to work only occasionally, not all the time.

Interference

The key fob uses a tiny transmitter to send an audio signal that is short-range to a receiver within your vehicle. Its function is to allow your car to recognize the key fob, open its doors when you come close to it, and then start when you push the ignition button.

The problem is that interference can occasionally interfere with this communication. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it could block you from unlocking the vehicle.

Other electronic devices that use the same frequency as the fob could interfere with its signal. This can include garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring systems. Even a transmitter in your home could be interfering however it is difficult for a professional to test.

Your key fob could require reprogramming. This process requires the transmitter on the fob to be recognized by the receiver inside your Mini and a distinct code is used for each pairing. Fobs typically need to be programmed after being disconnected or replaced, when you purchase a replacement and, in some instances the battery is changed. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual to change the programming of a key fob. You can also ask a dealer for help.

Chip that isn't working

Modern electronic key fobs offer convenience and function over traditional manual keys, but they are also vulnerable to damage. One of the most frequent issues is a malfunctioning chip that prevents your fob from functioning correctly. Fortunately, it's usually an easy fix.

If your fob is always not turning on your car, it is an indication that the chip has become faulty. It is usually possible to fix the problem by simply replacing the battery. This is a cost-effective and simple fix that can be found at any hardware store or retailer. To avoid further problems ensure that you purchase an appropriate battery for the car model you have.

It is also essential to make sure that the fob is not exposed to soapy residue. Water will often cause corrosion, which can cause problems with the circuit board. If this is the case, you will need to clean the circuit board using isopropyl alcohol, or an electronic cleaner before putting in the new battery.

It is a good idea to test the functioning of the fob prior to driving the vehicle. Verify the voltage of the new battery with an voltmeter and make sure it is safe. If not, you could require replacing the entire remote chip. A certified technician from the dealership can assist you in determining the best solution for your car.
