The key fob is a simple way to lock and unlock your vehicle from some distance. It also allows you to activate the panic button on your vehicle which will deter burglaries.

If your fob stops working, it can be fixed by following a few steps. Check that the battery is brand new. Then, try removing it from the ignition by pressing the button to lock three times fast.

Battery

The most simple way to fix your key fob's battery is to replace it. The key fob uses a tiny coin-shaped battery (CR2032, 2025) It can be found in a variety of general stores, home improvement stores, and auto parts stores. Make sure you use an original battery -older batteries are typically not suitable for any purpose and could damage the circuit board.

Start by removing the fob. You may have to use a flat screwdriver split the two halves. After that, slide the screwdriver in the seam on both sides of the fob to lift a couple of clips to secure it. These are easily broken, so be careful and take your time.

After replacing the battery, reassemble the fob and examine it to determine if everything is functioning just as it should. If it doesn't work you can try pressing the button several times before confirming that the contacts are in good order. You can also test it with a spare fob to determine if the issue is isolated to your key. If not, there could be another reason for the key fob to not work. For instance it could be because the button is worn out. This could trigger the button occasionally, not every time.

Interference

The key fob is powered by a small transmitter that transmits the signal in a short distance to a receiver located in your car. Its purpose it to allow your car to recognize the key fob, then open its doors when you are near it, and then turn on when you press the ignition button.

Interference may sometimes hinder communication. For example, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it could stop you from unlocking the car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices that use the same frequency as the fob might also interfere with its signal. This can include garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring systems. It is also possible that an RF transmitter inside your home might be interfering with the fob's signal, but this would be difficult to identify without an expert test.

Your key fob may also require reprogramming. The transmitter in your key fob has to be recognized by the Mini's receiver. A unique code is used for each pairing. Fobs must be reprogrammed when they are removed from the system or replaced, after you purchase a replacement and, in some instances, when the battery is replaced. Follow the directions in the owner's manual to program a key fob, or ask a dealer for assistance.

Once the old battery is replaced, it's a good idea to test the function of the fob before driving the car. With a voltmeter, test the voltage of the replacement battery to see if it is at an acceptable level. If not, it may be necessary to replace the entire chip inside the remote.
