Avoid Making This Fatal Mistake You're Using Your Mini Key
How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier

Your key fob is able to do more than just unlock your car's doors. Many fobs have other functions like opening windows, or summoning your car to park itself.

FB Series enclosures are designed to house a PCB and feature a snap-in coin cell battery holder that is compatible with the most popular 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 daily tasks of driving their car. This includes making it easier of getting in and out of their car especially when carrying large items or have difficulty opening the door using standard keys.

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

These features can be extremely useful for certain drivers, however they can also cause problems. If your comfort access isn't working as it is supposed to, there are many things you can try to solve the issue. It is important to ensure that there's no obstruction between the car's sensors and the door handle or window button and verifying that the key fob is correctly inserted into your car's keyhole.

If you're experiencing problems Try restarting the car and trying again. If these steps don't work, you should contact a mechanic to get additional assistance.

Remote Start

If you're within range of the vehicle, press the lock button twice times and then press it once more, holding it down for a few seconds to enable a remote engine starting.

You will also be allowed to roll up and down your windows, or sunroof, so you can take in the fresh air before you even leave your vehicle.

You can even set distinct driver profiles, so you can alter the seat or mirrors' positions and the climate settings according to who is driving it. If you share your BMW with a spouse or friend, they can enjoy all the comforts of a BMW while keeping their own personal driving experience.

You can also utilize the key fob to open or close your windows and sunroof if you're in a difficult location and don't want to get out of your vehicle to do so.

Another awesome feature of the key fob is that you can summon your vehicle, similar to Tesla's "summon" feature. This is accomplished by pressing the lock button on your key fob three times in succession. Then your car will automatically move out or back into parking spaces and stop where you direct it to.
