How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier

Your key fob is able to do more than unlock the car door. Many fobs have other functions like rolling down windows and summoning your car to park itself.

The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps in place. This battery is compatible with key fob batteries. Key ring slots are integrated into the enclosures, making it easy to attach keys.

Comfort Access

Comfort Access is a favorite among mini car key cooper owners as it assists them with the daily tasks of driving. This accessory allows you to easily get in and out of the car, particularly if you are carrying heavy items or have trouble opening the door with normal keys.

The key fob makes use of radio-frequency ID, or RFID, in order to unlock the vehicle. This system differs from traditional key chains, which require the user to inserting the key into the slot. Instead the owner walks into the vehicle holding the key fob. It also allows drivers to open and close the trunk and close and open the sunroof.

While these features can be extremely beneficial for certain drivers, they can also cause problems. If your comfort access system isn't performing as it should, there are several options you can use to solve the issue. This includes making sure there isn't any obstruction between the car's sensors and the window or door handle, and confirming that the key fob has been correctly inserted into your car's keyhole.

If you're still having problems try restarting the car and try again. If none of these methods work, you can contact an auto mechanic to seek further help.
