How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier

Your key fob is capable of more than unlocking your car's door. Some fobs are also equipped with functions like rolling down 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 is compatible with key fob batteries. Additionally, key ring molded slots make it easy to attach standard keys.

Comfort Access

Comfort Access is a sought-after accessory for mini cooper owners, as it can help them with the day-to-day tasks of driving their vehicle. This accessory helps you get into and out of the car, especially if are carrying heavy items or are having trouble opening the door with regular keys.

The key fob uses RFID, also known as radio frequency identification, in order to unlock the vehicle. Contrary to traditional key chains which require the driver to insert the key into a slot this system only requires owners to approach the vehicle with the key fob in hand. It also allows drivers to remotely open and close the trunk and also close and open the sunroof.

While these features are beneficial for certain drivers, they also can create problems. If your comfort access system isn't working as it should, there are a variety of ways to fix the problem. This includes making sure there are no obstructions between the car's sensors and the door handle or window button, and confirming that the key fob has been correctly inserted into the car's keyhole.

If you're having trouble try restarting the vehicle and try it again. If none of these solutions work you should contact a mechanic to get additional help.

Remote Start

A lot of people have a difficult time believing that the MINI Cooper key fob actually has remote start, but it does. The addition of this feature to your car will enable you to start your car remotely from up to 70 meters away (or about 230 feet). If you are within range of the vehicle, simply click the lock button two times before pressing it again, holding it down for a few seconds, to trigger a remote engine start.

You'll also be in a position to roll up and down your windows, or sunroofs, which means you can enjoy the fresh air before you even leave your vehicle. Remote mirror control is another cool feature you can enable by using the key fob. You can fold and unfold the wing mirrors as by turning the switch on your car.

You can also utilize the key fob to close your trunk, which is very useful if you've forgotten to lock your vehicle. You can even set different profiles for drivers, so you can change the seat and mirrors' position and also the climate settings according to who is driving it. If you're sharing your vehicle with a companion or spouse, they will be able to enjoy all the luxury of your BMW while still enjoying a private and relaxed drive.

Remote Trunk Close

The key fob for your mini cooper can be used to make your life easier. One of them is the capability to open or close the trunk of your car remotely. This is especially helpful for those who have a large object that is in the trunk of your car, and you don't want it up or unbuckle your belt. You can also use the key fob to open or close your windows and sunroof if you're parked in a difficult area and don't wish to take your vehicle out to do the same.

Another interesting feature of the key fob is that it can summon your car similar to Tesla's "summon" feature. The lock button on the key fob needs to be press three times in succession. The car will then automatically reverse out of or pull into a parking spot and stop exactly where you point it to.

If you lose your key fob, the first step is to deactivate it so that it can't be used by a criminal. This is simple to do and only takes about a minute. You can find instructions on deactivation in your owner's manual, or on the website of the automaker. You can also buy a new keyfob, and have it programmed at a dealer. You will need your driver's licence and proof of ownership.

Remote Mirror Control

BMW is committed to providing their customers with features that help them enjoy their cars more. The ability to open and shut the trunk and sunroof remotely via the key fob one of the standard features included in the new MINI Cooper. To use this feature remove your key from the ignition without turning off the engine and press the unlock button three times in rapid succession. The car will then remain in accessory mode and allow you to press the lock button once more.

Remote Mirror Control is another useful feature that comes with the new MINI Cooper Key Fob. It allows you to fold and unfold your wing mirrors with the key fob, giving you more room even in tight parking spots. This feature can also allow you to get rid of the hassle of having another person drive your vehicle and messing up your seat placement as well as radio settings and other preferences you have carefully set up.
