Battery

The most simple way to fix the battery on your key fob is to replace it. The fob uses a small coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) that is easy to find in general stores and home improvement stores, as well as some auto parts stores. Be sure to use the latest batteryold batteries are usually not good for anything and can damage the circuit board.

Start by opening the fob. It might be tight, but with the help of a flat screwdriver, you will be able split the halves. Then, fit the screwdriver into the seam on both sides of the fob and raise a couple clips holding it in place. These can be easily damaged so be cautious and take your time.

After replacing the battery then reassemble the fob and examine it to determine if everything is working just as it should. If it does not work after pressing the button a few times, ensure that the contacts are clean. You could also try it using a spare key fob to determine whether the issue is specific to a specific key. If not, then there could be another reason behind the key fob not to work. For example it could be because the button is worn out. This will only make the button work infrequently and not always.

Interference

The key fob uses tiny transmitters to transmit a short-range radio signal to a receiver in your vehicle. Its function is to allow your vehicle to recognize the key fob, open its doors when you approach it, and then turn on when you press 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 prevent you from unlocking the vehicle.

Other electronic devices operating on the same frequency may also interfere with the fob's signal. Garage door openers, or tire pressure monitoring devices could be affected. A transmitter in your home could be interfering with the tire pressure, but this is difficult for a professional to test.


It's possible that your fob is simply changed in its programming. The transmitter in the key fob needs to be recognized by Mini's receiver. A unique code is then used for each pairing. Fobs are typically reprogrammed when they're disconnected or replaced, when you purchase a new one, and in some cases the battery is changed.
